Best Drug Rehab (or BDR) is definitely a Scientology program. My son is the one we were discussing at the beginning of this thread. The BDR website is totally inaccurate and not what you get when you get to the program. The only "faith" you can choose from is Scientology. You have to read L Ron Hubbard books and do TR's before you can get any priveleges such as attending a simple AA meeting. Trust me - you do not want to use this place for alcohol or drug treatment!
I sent my son to the same place. Same complaints. If we are all in this same boat together, how do we all work together to get our money back, and close this darn place down? This is some crazy stuff!!! They are taking advantage of vulnerable people in desperate situations! My 17 year old ran away from the place! Thank God! He was only there for 7 days. I put the bill on credit cards, the credit card companies said it's not fraud unless they used the card without my permission. How do we ban together against this evil disgusting Scientology scam? Are there lawyers out there that have dealt with this before?
Go to the FTC and complain about the fraudulent advertising and how much it cost you. They seem to take complaints from those who have lost money more seriously than from people who have only seen the ads on line filing complaints. Maybe with more voices, they will listen and act faster.https://www.FTCComplaintAssistant.gov/FTC_Wizard.aspx?Lang=en
Hi Mary, I was modifying my post when you responded. I modified the post to make sure I was not distracting from the good work you do and just add my voice to the call for filing a complaint. When I find fraud on-line, I tend to report it, hoping that they will get enough complaints to expend the resources and act.
