When and where did you post such a question?
I looked all the way back through this thread, and
you never asked any such question.
Perhaps you forgot to post it.

But the ultra-short list is:
Hazelden Foundation,
Betty Ford Clinic,
and Dr. G. Douglas Talbott's clinic in Atlanta, Georgia,
which was successfully sued for $1.3 million dollars for
malpractice and false imprisonment for forcing 12-step
torture on doctors and nurses.

If you want the long list, contact the University of
Georgia, who did a study that found that 93% of the
treatment facitilies in the USA used 12-step treatment.

As long as you persist in making ad hominem attacks,
rather than debating with anything resembling facts,
I shall continue to call you on it.
If you don't like the term, then knock it off.

Strange how I noticed it but you didn't. Also noticed your lack of a
reply.

Facts? What facts? Your "facts" are blinkered by your obsession with
AA.

Thanks, Blue. Saved me the trouble. He saw it, just "playing dumb". He
does that a lot...just like some others who get caught in the webs they spin
and promptly change the subject.

See: "National Treatment Center Study Report"
by Paul Roman and Terry Blum,
Institute for Behavioral Research, Athens, Georgia, 1997.

Page 10 says that 93.1% of all treatment centers in the
USA utilize the 12-step approach.

As has been demonstrated numerous times before, there's a big
difference between "utilising the 12-step approach" and "front for
AA". If this is the only evidence you can produce, it's clear that
you have no such facts at all and the notion of treatment centres
being a front for AA is a symptom of your own paranoid delusion.
