Look, this place is a state run facility and I've known several people and a few family members go here and the employees/counselors are not there to coddle you or hold your hand and kiss your problems to make them better. They're supposed to be hard on you and rude and push your buttons because that's how most real life and real life situations are. They do these so called 'rude' things to see how you respond to these situations and handle them like an adult, instead of running off and doing the detrimental and hurtful and/or illegal things you would usually do in critical or angry situations that led to the very reasons you or your friends or loved ones to be in there in the first place. It is not a retreat, it is a stepping stone for you to obtain some skills and knowledge to handle life on life's terms, not your own terms. Again it is a stepping stone for you to continue to get help or continued treatment on your own. There's reasons why your friends/family/loved ones ended up there and I'm sure it was not very good reasons. I don't agree with everyone's attitudes or methods there but it's the same way in real life...
