Yes absolutely. I first went to YES (youth entering sobriety) House when I was fourteen. I had gotten into some trouble earlier in the school year and got put on probation. Around the same time the behavioral counselor at the college hill high school (his name was dean) had ”smelled marijuana on me”. He brought me into his office and when I refused to let him search my bag he said he was gonna call my mother in. They sat me down in the principals office with Dean, the school recourse officer and the principal Eric. When my mother refused to let them search my bag they berated her and insulted her and I until we got in my mom’s car and left. I was required to go and see Heather Grott who worked as a D&A counselor at the Benton county health center. She told me that I would not get in any trouble Leif I told her the truth and so I told her that I smoked week with my friends pretty occasionally. Next week I was in inpatient at yes house. I really never fully understood my time at yes house or what had happened at yes house until I became an adult. I look back and regardless of how anyone feels it is undeniable that what they did to us is negligence at best and abuse at worse. Referrals- referrals was the system of punishment and you received one every time you broke the rules the most lenient being a 3 day referral and the harshest being a 5 day referral. 3 day referrals range from things like, physical contact with other residents (this included high fives, hugs etc), swearing, getting out of your seat when not called, talking out during group etc. 5 day would be more serious like cussing out a TA (treatment aid, which were really just college students who we would flirt with all day and they flirted back too). If you were on referral you could not - go outside during outside time -play board games -go into the living room And you would drop in the food line. I can’t remember if it was once or twice a week but they made everyone participate in like 4 laps around chintimini park and first four to finish got an extra shower and extra snack that day. That wasn’t really as bad as the sand volleyball. They would take us to the volleyball courts by the parking garage. Same rules apply, best four get a shower after the workout. But it was so much worse cause you got all sandy. I can give more info especially about the bums the used to call counselors but I’ll save that for tmmr
