How ignite ruined my life So I was at ignite for about 2 years, the hell I went through is indescribable. I'm a pretty regular guy but my parents sent me because they were getting divorced and didn't know how to deal with an angry 15 year old. But of course ignite doesn't care because they are only around for the money. They treated me like a criminal I couldn't even use the bathroom with the door closed. I work in a grocery store behind the counter getting minimum wage because I couldn't learn the life skills I need to get a good job. My life is completely ruined and its all thanks to the wonderful staff at ignite(who are random teens that they picked up from the streets). There's not much I could do at this point but I don't want what happened to me happen to others.

Honest straight up facts I was in ignite for a while and I'm not gonna say a lot, just that it's not a professional place and I don't want to get in to details but if I was you I would stay away from it, good luck

Trust They say surrender to the process that you have to trust someone. How are you supposed to trust this program when every time you open up to the therapist about something you did, and need to talk about it, all they do is get you in trouble and punish you, then the next time you need to talk, your supposed to trust them.trust is a lot of thing, but not this. Put trust into the people that steal your money, NO .I came in here with a wallet and left with a empty wallet, that nobody took responsibility for. But trust them. The mentors here don’t follow the rules but want us to follow the rules. I hope you make the right decision to get help somewhere else but not here

Would not trust my loved one with this Unprofessional staff. I tell everyone I know to not call them.. The Treatment center did basically nothing for my child. Yes, he was a bit uncooperative as I am sure most people getting 12 hours notice that they are being sent away would be. They lied, told us they would escort my son to the airport for us to pick him up in NY on his arrival. When we would not agree to extend beyond his 45 days agreed upon and leave him there through the holidays. They basically told us to come get him ourselves, the day before Thanksgiving. They would not help us at all. They are not professionals in any way shape or form. They mixed my sons file with another child and called to deliver news to us that was for another child. They are basically funnelling kids into this center, abusing their insurance, sticking him in a room to discuss his feelings in group 6 out of 8 hours in a day. NOT A GOOD PLACE FOR SUBSTANCE ABUSE TEENAGERS. i would love to see their success rates..

It was the worst experience of my life… It was the worst experience of my life we barely got any food and when we did it was poor quality they made sure that my life was hell but lied to my parents saying that I need to stay there longer there were a lot of mentor's that would have a bad day and then take it out on me I would not recommend sending your kid there
