What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Oklahoma.
I took an ADSAC test at a local services center. The results of the test included a recommendation that I take and "complete 24-week anger management course."
I called every place that offers anger management and the longest one I could find offered anywhere was 12 weeks.
I thought this was odd, so I called the place that administered the test and told them that I couldn't find one. Their reply was, "Oh. You should have asked us first, because we offer one."
It was $110 for the assessment (on top of the $170 ADSAC assessment fee), and $30 per week.
I paid the fees and began the classes.
A few weeks before beginning the classes for anger management, I also began counseling for drug abuse at another center. During the course of the drug abuse counseling I revealed everything I've said here so far. My drug abuse counselor told me it was unethical for the ADSAC assessment recommendation to require me to do a course that is only offered by one location, and that that location profit monetarily from me also. He said it is considered ethical to make suggestions for at least two other avenues to complete the recommendations.
I stopped going to the anger management classes. My drub abuse counselor has the same government printed material handbook on anger management. So, now Monday's I have drug abuse counseling and on Thursdays I have anger management, both are with the same counselor. I will receive a certificate of completion and all the counseling is free.
So, today, I received a letter from the counseling center where I had been attending the $30/wk anger management classes which says I owe them $570 even though I only attended 6 weeks of counseling. Each week I attended I would pay $30 cash, rather than wait until the end to pay a lump sum.
Hmmm...
Thoughts? I feel like I've been wronged.
