I was in the Springfield facility from 84-86. I was reading the last few posts and I just found all of this stuff online and I just wanted to comment that although one person didn't experience something at their facility doens't mean that the memories everyone has shared about abuse should be invalidated. I didn't graduate the program, I decided to not be in straight anymore after making it to 5th phase. I didn't leave the program because I wanted to get high, I just didn't want to be there anymore. I stayed with my friends that had 7th stepped and remained sober until I turned 18 which is when I decided to figure out if I really had an addiction. I can say with great pride that I do not have an addition to anything except for cigs which isn't but a few a day. The things I witnessed at Straight were pretty harsh and I just happened to walk in on stuff I wasn't meant to see. I witnessed the light torture and sleep deprivation, I personally know someone that was denied any food for weeks other then apples and water. I had to restrain a person I cared deeply about and although I know that sometimes people got violent its only because they wanted escape, well we all considered it in the beginning (unless your an adult who admitted yourself) and lets be honest, someon people got off on restraining. the fact is that everyone had a different experience but for the most part, the things we witnessed were real and totally unhealthy. Straight breed some really ugly things in us that some people may never be aware of. I was never a confrontational person until I came out of that program. I will admit that I learned to pay more attention to my feelings and am able to articulate well in my day to day life, I'm even good at giving people advise and love to help others but I don't talk about my emotions very often. I have become a person who deals with things on my own and I think this has something to do with the program and its critical approach to analysing what we said to determine our sincerity or "full of shit" ness. So I'd rather not have people be critical. Not good to be a lone wolf, means I have trust issues. Anyways, I will be honest and say that there are things I learned in straight that were good and bad, I can't credit it with saving me only because I do not believe I was an addict going in, I believe that I know how to judge my nature and I was just kid doing all the crazy stuff kids do. Like my 20 year old son, I would have grown out of it just like he did. He experimented and that was that. To bad I will never fully know what I would have become without straight. I am lucky to have been a person to escape all of its abuses to grow into someone who is successful and productive and is capable of long lasting relationships. That being said, I am lucky but there are other brothers and sisters out there that haven't been so lucky and their pain is real and justified... as much as I would love to take that pain away, it belongs to them and was given to them by Straight. I remember Steve, his sad eyes and tired frame as if to display his discouragement with the world , they would put people on either side of him to force him to mentally and physically be present. I think of him when I think of straight, they made him an example, to scare us, to let us know that we could never escape, to keep it fresh in our faces that compliance with be expected 'Or Else". My mother remembers his passing as does everyone from that time. I am sorry they crushed his spirit and I'm sorry he left his family. I will never forget him.

Thank you for sharing your tragedy in order to educate. I'm truly shocked and that's hard to do now days. Those of us who DON'T view teens as demented, perverted addicts need to advocate against those who do!

Thanks for sharing your story. It really touched me. I'm so sorry for your loss. I too was in Straight, Va. Back in 1987 to 1989, I'm 34 years old. I still have nightmares of that place. I have bi-polar. I wish the best to you...

man, im so sorry. i was away for 28 months at 7 different programs. i have a ton of friends that i met that are probably still away and 2 of my friends from home got sent away. (one of them was one who had no signs of addiction like really not reason to be sent away whatsoever... now hes run away many times. hitch hikes get found and brought back. its no good) A MESSEGE FOR PARENTS/GUARDIANS: YOU CAN'T SEND SOMEONE AWAY IF THEY DON'T WANT TO CHANGE AND EXPECT GOOD RESULTS 100% OF THE TIME NO MATTER HOW GOOD OR BAD THE PROGRAM. AND IF YOU DO SEND THEM AWAY AND IT DOESNT WORK... JUST TAKE THEM OUT. 6MONTHS IS THE LONGEST I'DE SAY TO GIVE AS A TRIAL PERIOD (BUT THIS I MEAN TRUELY BOUGHT INTO IT AND NOT JUST JUMPING THROUGH HOOPS TO GET HOM BECAUSE THIS IS A RECIPE FOR DISASTER AND LEADS THE KID TO GETTING SENT AWAY MORE AND MORE TIMES) LET THE DAMN KIDS LIVE AT HOME AND IF THEY ARE TRUELY UNMANAGEABLE (AND THIS DOESN'T MEAN THEY HAVE TO BE PERFECT OR EVEN CLOSE). IM NOT CLOSE WHATSOEVER BY ANYONES DEFINITION BUT MY PARENTS ARE STILL PUSHING ME AND I DO BETTER. I KNOW OF TONS AND TONS AND TONS OF TREATMENT FACILITIES (not just drug) AND IF YOU WANT A GOOD ONE DROP ME A NOTE IN MY E-MAIL. (BEST DRUG TREATMENT FACILITIES... CARON FOUNDATION (WERNERSVILLE, PA), BETTY FORD, HAZELTON, AND PRINCETON HOUSE (IN PRINCETON, NJ). laters bro... my one year out of those places is coming up. still have a ton of shit to get over. sincerely, alex
