This seemingly innocuous article asking if ADHD medications are a blessing or a curse should be avoided like the plague. Reader, beware — this particular rehab clinic is based in Clearwater, FL, home of one of the largest Scientology Center. Eric Mitchell, the site’s registrant, is a fervent Scientologist.
Beware of this website, which invites the visitor to learn more about addiction and recovery through the form on their front page asking for your name, email address, telephone number and your comments. Submit the form and you will land in a Scientology database, guaranteed.

4. we respond to subpoenas, court orders or legal processes.
I didn’t try it, but my guess is that it wouldn’t take much consent to have that info sent right over to Clearwater Scientology headquarters.
I’m just sayin’…
