I am pretty sure this place is a colt, we stopped by on a Saturday to view the place as an option for men's rehabilitation drug program or aka to be a part of the "colony" as they referred to everything. It was seriously the most weirdest experience I have ever encountered. Everyone had a haze over them. They have housing for staff members, when I asked the one woman who was doing the tour who stated she lived in the colony that if she had children (she was an older woman possibly late 40's) would they be able to live with her she replied, "if there was space". What?? So you would rather live in this "colony" than be with your children... I couldn't grasp that. As we did what they called the colony tour, they stated that if you were not able to memorize a part of their scripture verbatim in the morning if you got called on then you did not eat. Right. So we ended the tour as quickly as we could and I decided to pass by the men's housing part of the "Colony" to see if i could speak with someone who was in the program, so I was able to speak with a nice gentleman who gave us some insight who stated he loved it there and actually told me this is not a colt without me even asking.. The whole time there were gentleman trying to get his attention letting him know that someone was watching and he was going to get in trouble, he continued to talk to me as a man stood outside of a window talking to a man on the inside of the window watching. It was the most bizarre thing i have ever seen. I seriously think these patients who are seeking help are being brainwashed and they do not even notice it. I was hoping that this would be a great place for my loved one but as we all left the "colony" I literally felt like i was "colonized" and needed some holy water to get whatever they had floating in the air off of me. My advise to anyone would be to tour the place and see the haze in every persons eye yourself.
