BackgroundThe multi-million dollar troubled teen or "tough love" industry is made up mostly of for-profit companies that promise to fix drug addiction, mental illness, and attitude problems.[1] At the center of this industry are the behavioral programs, some accused of abusive practices and even causing the death of teen clients.[1] The programs include residential treatment centers, wilderness programs, therapeutic boarding schools, religious reeducation camps, and youth transportation services.[2] They enroll children with almost any learning disability or mental illness, including ADHD, ADD, Asperger’s Syndrome, bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, sexual behavior problems, reactive-attachment disorder, non-verbal learning disorder, anger management, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), developing personality disorders, and/or trouble with the law.[3] The treatment for these conditions consists of a rigidly-controlled environment, strict discipline, a “levels system” of behavior change, and confrontational “transformation therapy.”[2] HistoryTough love behavior modification programs for troubled teenagers have been around since the 1960s. The industry has its origins in a controversial group founded in 1958 called Synanon. Though Synanon later went bankrupt, it influenced other organizations related to the troubled teen industry.[4] Synanon influenced a high school called cedu one of the first of this kind the accusations of cedu students are horrendous CriticismInstitutional child abuse is known to have negative effects on adult survivor's mental health and can cause post-traumatic stress disorder.[3] Notable CasesOn February 15th 2018, Jack Sawyer was arrested for planning a mass shooting at Fair Haven Union High School, Vermont.[5] Sawyer had developed his plans, and attempted to purchase weapons to carry them out, whilst a resident at Ironwood RTC, Maine. Sawyer signed himself out of the facility days prior to his arrest. [6] Sawyer's case has ignited concerns regarding the adequacy of care residential treatment centres are capable of providing.
