A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE. My son went to rehab and his Counselor, began a sexual Relationship with him during Treatment. There was very little supervision and staff turned a blind eye when he was out all night drinking in her home. I was 3000 miles away and had no idea this was going on.

It's sickening, that I had weekly phone "therapy" sessions with Ms. Chapman, while she was exploiting my son. I was lied to, manipulated and financially drained. She made "Clinical Decisions" and "extended his treatment" for 3 months (14k+). After my son graduated, she encouraged him to stay in Florida for this "sobriety". They moved in together and things really escalated then. She didn't let him out of her sight. When he came home for a visit, she had a "nervous breakdown". When he returned, she had him arrested twice on false charges resulting in 6 weeks in Jail. (Power & Control.) She would drop the charges and do it all over again.

My son felt sorry for her and thought he was in love. She was very unstable and unpredictable (ie. Fatal Attraction). She began harrassing him and our family when he finally decided to leave... she threatened suicide and to have him arrested again. Ultimately I had to hire an Attorney and make 2 trips to Florida to get him home.

It turns out that there were at least two other clients that she took advatage of. They also relapsed with her. These young men did not get the Treatment they deserved either.

When Spencer's learned about her actions, they fired her. Unfortunately, 9 months later we are still dealing with the resulting legal, financial & emotional aftermath. They are not offering any support or restitution for the damages caused by their employee. They have refused to refund my money, so now I'm disputing the charges with Visa. Uggg!

Anyone who enters treatment or walks the path with a family member knows how fragile the process is. A counselor should never violate that trust or destroy anyone's chance for recovery. It's life & death.

I hope this story helps someone.
