They do this thing called "the hot seat" where one patient (either mentally ill or a recovering drug addict) who has been being "bad" is placed in a chair in the center of the group and all the patients would verbally "call out" the person in the hot seat for things they didn't like about the person, whether it was forcing to the person in the hits eat to take their medicine, or telling them that they where annoying, we did it for all sorts of things. I think this type of mental abuse is horrendous, crude, abusive, and downright disgusting.
Contrary to the claims on their website and over the phone, hey also house not only members of the same sex in the same house instead of separating the sexes in a "men's house" and "female house" but they also house adolescents (patients UNDER the age of 18!) in these houses alongside adults. I found this also very disturbing and unprofessional.
They need to separate the mentally ill from the recovering drug addicts because the recovering drug addicts just make fun of the mentally ill. I do not understand how the methods used at Wellington Retreat could be productive.
