When the clients are calling the cops on their house manager when domestic violence is happening…allegedly…

Part of the rehab dance is housing. Now, the actual housing doesn’t collect rent for clients to live there, because they have really good insurance policies. That is about 90% of the treatment centers out there that do this game…allegedly…If you don’t have a good policy, they will ensure that you do…allegedly…

There is a mix of housing situations that potentially occur. There is only men and only females houses and sometimes its a couples house or both male and female. Once in a while there will be a LGBTQIA+ house but that rarely happens and if it does, it ends up being converted to a everyone house.

And then there is a house manager that has his girlfriend also living with him in the house he is managing. They are both clients in the program…allegedly…

And because they both rarely attend any programing and are both in active addiction while in the program, sometimes the situation heats up. In which the other clients in the same house, are hearing a domestic violence situation happening. Where they no longer feel safe, no staff is helping them and they end up sleeping in their car. Where they then feel they need to flee the program because it is no longer safe. They have been triggered by the DV happening and would rather be houseless then there…allegedly…

I can only speak from own experience and I know, that were I in that situation I would have made the same choice, allegedly. I fully believe that if a place is no longer protecting you and has no intention to, leave and find safety. Report the program. If you don’t want your name used, you can always report anonymously. The allegedly scenario above is not uncommon throughout drug and alcohol treatment programs. It is an ongoing problem and people are too afraid to speak out because they are terrified of having their career fried. I know. These places will burn you the second you are no longer useful for them even when they call themselves an “ally” or family. They will create a pattern where you feel indebted to them and that you can’t leave. Or they pay you so little as a house manager you can’t financially leave. There are resources and if you want to get out, I can help. Lets shut down these cesspools of predatory men…allegedly…
