What happens when the place meant to help people heal ends up leaving them with more trauma? In the first episode of "Troubled Treatment," we learn about Spring Ridge Academy (SRA), a therapeutic boarding school for teens meant to help them through a wide range of struggles from addiction and mental health challenges to defiance and family conflict. We also meet the individuals who found their experiences in the program to be more often damaging than therapeutic. In the first episode of this limited series, we unpack just what the so-called "troubled teen industry" looks like from the inside.
