Behaviour Modification huh? This video brings back so many horrible memories. I was in a third world rehab center with the exact methods mentioned in the video and in this article. https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/fican/paradise-cove-t15.html I thought the reason that institution was run the way it was, was because I wasn't in a first world country. The experience I endured had a strong traumatic effect on me. They brainwash your parents, they blackmail you with punishment so you don't talk to your parents about what really goes on. Severe emotional, mental, and physical torture. I was once made to sit in front of a wall for almost an entire week, sitting upright on an empty can of jalapeños, handcuffed, deprived of my sleep with endless buckets of water, slaps, kicks, punches. Deprived of food and water. This one occassion of many. It was my punishment for attempting to reach out to my dad through the internet. My mom's side of the family, who where the ones to put me in that horrible place, quit paying, so i was basically held captive. In a fit of desperation i managed to escape and find safety, eventually found my way home.... Behavioural Modification... These institutions are falsely labled as Rehab Centers, and they convince many families to abandon unwanted or troubled family members there for treatment. I still fantasize about burning that shady place down to this day.

God gave me the opportunity to escape, he guided me back home to my family, who by the way were clueless about what had happened to me. I was an ignorant atheist before the event, and I'm grateful for the experience as it opened my eyes. Apart from the ptsd, I arrived home with a very spiritual perspective. I really want to believe the whole experience was a manifestation of God. Happy New Year Carmencita :)

It has been 6 years. I was only 15 at the time. It was the roughest 6 months I had ever experienced. The staff were obviously not interested in our well being, it was all about money manipulation and power. These institutions are masked as Rehab Centers, or Anexos. They exist everywhere in Mexico, and all follow the same agenda of abuse and neglect with the rouse that your family thinks you are in some sort of recovery. I please invite you to investigate any institution beginning with AMAAR. There are many. As you can tell by my username, that's the place I was held captive. A very popular and notorious one is AMAAR Chihuahua. I doubt any information will be found online. Maybe a couple of other testimonies but nothing more. I wish I could find images of the inside of these places so you can get an idea of the environment we were forced to live in. Now that I can connect the dots and come to the conclusion that these sort of places were deliberately engineered, and that it also occurs in obscure regions of US territory, I have no doubt in my mind that these anexos are sadistic guinea pig labs. Behavioural Modification, I will never forget this term.
