Complaint against A Forever Recovery, October 6, 2009

Filed under: A Forever Recovery, Battle Creek, MI, Michigan, United States

Narconon Location: A Forever Recovery
Agency Receiving Complaint: Michigan Attorney General
Date of Complaint: October 6, 2009
Nature of Complaint: Deceptive practices, Facility conditions, Program inadequacies, Ethical concerns
Outcome of Complaint: Unknown

Summary:

Lengthy, but insightful, complaint about the program, the lies told about what the facility would be provide, what the program was about. She complains that the program choices are non-existent or only for 1 day per week, counseling is only 1x per week, conditionsare filthy, limited food for a vegan.

However, the most interesting part at the end of the complaint concerns how she was treated, especially after the then case manager Paul Lawson, took her out on the program boat to go over her “inventory” which she needed to complete. Only problem is that she was out sun bathing in a bikini when he came over to her, suggesting she join him for this part of the program on the boat.

When they returned, staff and students were concerned that he’d taken advantage of her physically (claiming he had a history of with other patients) which she was insistent that he hadn’t. However, she was confused about whether she’d been emotionally taken advantage of by the case manager during some moments on the boat, which she describes. The director, Pam Anderson, was concerned and pressured her to tell her if he had… even preventing her from graduating from the program until other staff intervened on her behalf. Read and decide if he was inappropriate.
