“Don’t
have your son and your daughter become one of us. Don’t think for a
minute that place went away. It’s too smart for that. It just
changed, and moved, and put a new name on itself. But there are still
children out there being tortured, one day at a time.”

Synanon
Cult: Origin of Straight Inc., The Seed, Pathway, as well as a
multitude of various behaviour modification programmes in the United
States:
“By
the early 1970s, the federal government itself had funded its own
Synanon clone. It was located in Florida and Ohio and was known as
the SEED……On September 1st, 1976 Mel Sembler and Joseph Zappala
founded a program virtually identical to the SEED, staffed by former
SEED parents and participants. They named it Straight Incorporated……
This program was highly controversial due to the style of therapy it
used, called “Tough Love,” that has been likened to
brainwashing…….The Pathway Family Center, Detroit was founded in
1993 by former Straight Inc. program director Helen Gowanny, 15 miles
from the old Straight Inc. facility near Detroit……”

movie:

“Over the GW based on a true story of an abusive, cult-like
drug-rehabilitation center.
“Eventually
led to believe that the only thing keeping them alive is the program,
the frightened siblings fall victim to a detestable form of
brainwashing while navigating a cult-like maze of confusion and
struggling to maintain their true identities.”
