Looks pretty straight-forward. http://www.thegooddrugsguide.com/listings/cedars-drug-rehabilation-center-62111.htm thecedarsdrugrehab.com was created in 2008, currently parked and up for sale, expires in October.
I didn't see any corporate dox for Cedars Drug Rehab on Michigan's court site. Is this place still in operation? Even if it wasn't, we should still be able to see dox for incorporation or at least an assumed name.
Since the address listed is 300 Care Center Drive, Manistee, MI, it was probably a short-lived business alias for one of Per's other companies.
This is what I found in the LARA system at: http://www.dleg.state.mi.us/bcs_cor...&name_entity=THE CEDARS REHABILITATION CENTER Not one of Per's, this one was Kathleen's. "The Cedars Rehabilitation Center" was an assumed name. Guess the actual entity name was too much of a mouthful. BigBeard
Strange, I used LARA too. Good stuff. So, she gets axed, sues Per and Narconon and opens her own rehab? Wait a sec, we had Narconon Freedom Center/Stone Hawk, A Forever Recovery and Cedars all in operation at the same time? Wow, desperate for that money. Question, did the Wickstroms want it for personal gain or were they trying to buy their way up the bridge?
I used "Cedars" and "Rehab" in the LARA 'Key Word' search. The 'Name' search doesn't always come back with something unless your search term matches exactly. Since they had that falling out with narCONon, and this was a "For Profit" company, I'd suspect the idea was to pocket the money. Wonder why it got dissolved? Too many people looking to close?

They keep opening the same rehab under a different name and never seem to change their practices. Seriously, why don't they ever go legit? Per Wickstrom interview on Vimeo

http://www.xenu-directory.net/documents/corporate/person.php?person_id=7 An archived news story from 2008: PENNFIELD TOWNSHIP — A new private-pay substance abuse inpatient facility has begun operation at the facilities formerly occupied by Narconon Stone Hawk, a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center with links to Scientology. Operators of the new organization, A Forever Recovery, said they are not associated with either Narconon or Scientology, although some employees worked for and managed Narconon Stone Hawk. "I know there's been a lot of negativity surrounding Narconon and I want people to know it's not Narconon anymore," said Matt Yumoto, A Forever Recovery detoxification facilitator and former Narconon Stone Hawk employee. "Our goal is to help people get off drugs." Founders said they have created a unique program that offers multiple paths to recovery in one location. The new program uses moral reconation therapy, a cognitive-behavioral treatment system that has been successful, Program Director David Lee, 38, said. Patients also can choose a faith-based, self-help or cognitive-holistic track, he said. They are encouraged, but not required, to use the facility's saunas and exercise equipment, to take vitamins and eat healthy food. "This is a truly unique approach because no one has really tried to put different forms of recovery under one building," Lee said. "Our philosophy is: Find the niche that works for you." The St. Mary's Lake buildings were listed for sale at $3.69 million in June, but probably are coming off the market, according to the buildings' Realtor, Roger Molenaar. Former Narconon Stone Hawk President Per Wickstrom once owned the buildings with his wife, Kate, before the buildings were transferred to the TIA Corp. The corporation also currently owns Narconon Stone Hawk East in the former Trillium Hospital in Albion, according to online city records. A Forever Recovery is leasing the building from TIA Corp., Lee said. Per Wickstrom is its marketing director and the center is operating under the same state licensing numbers as Narconon Stonehawk's. But its directors' intent to help drug and alcohol addicts come clean is real. A Forever Recovery began accepting patients Aug. 15, said Senior Case Manager Paul Lawson. The 42-year-old Ceresco man said he grew up in Battle Creek, where he became addicted to and sold drugs. Now, after more than 10 years of being clean, Lawson said working with patients at A Forever Recovery is his chance to give back to the community. "I believe in giving back to a community that I took from for so many years," he said. Currently 19 patients, including two in withdrawal, are living there. The estimated average stay is 45 days and patients or their families are charged a minimum $12,500 for the program. Lee said he hopes it will evolve to include up to 80 patients and 90 days of treatment, with support for the families of recovered addicts as well.

http://www.moral-reconation-therapy.com/mrthistory.html Moral reco-what? Luckily there is a web site: http://www.moral-reconation-therapy.com But instead of searchable text, it has a gifs of text. I haven't seen that type of thing since the early 1990s.
Pubmed search on "moral reconation therapy" gives 9 results. -4 papers by "Little GL, Robinson KD, Burnette KD," in "Psychol Rep," 1990-93. -4 papers by "Little GL, Robinson KD," in "Psychol Rep," 1988-89. -1 paper by "Ferguson LM, Wormith JS" in "Int J Offender Ther Comp Criminol," 2012 Jun 28. So three guys were interested in a badly spelled therapy invented by a drug counselor in a jail 20 years ago. The world forgets. Then suddenly two months ago a new paper. I think the Scientologists and their chiropractic pets are putting their Hubbard crap into our Science library.
Folks, I wouldn't call it a derail exactly, but for a thread about NN OK Form 990's we sure have taken a left turn into "Wickstrom Land". I can see pros and cons to dumping all 990 info in one thread, but it can get confusing to keep track of. Plus, some folks are dumping 990 info on other Cof$ entities in the more general topic threads. So I'm still thinking we need a, to borrow a phrase from the Closing Agreement, "$cientology Related Entity Form 990" situation room. With seperate topics for "narCONon Form 990s", "CCHR Form 990s", "Cof$ Form 990s", "ABLE Form 990s", "RTC Form 990s", "TWTH Form 990s", etc., etc., etc., through the 'alphabet soup' of $cientology. Since not everyone's focused on narCONon, I believe some folks are digging into CCHR, this would at least keep things a bit organized, and hopefully make it a little easier to find things when needed. Especially when looking for 'cross feeding' between the various groups. If you agree, how to we get the Sit Room set up? Aand sweet talk a mod into moving things to the appropriate place? BigBeard
It's a great idea. I think what we are doing, dox dump, will logically lead to a situation room. I have to come back to this thread repeatedly to access info on 990s, but I can barely keep track of what page pertinent info is on at this point. Each narCONon should have their own sub-folder. There's just too much info to be deciphered and disseminated in each 990.
I agree with BigBeard and yourself individual or however you feel like setting it up. Others have added to the discussion however BigBeard & YouSeeNothing have done the bulk of the investigating in my opinion. BigBeard, what about a thread titled ex. "Please only Post *narCONon Form 990s* & Related NN Financials". I'm not trying to take over a thread and neither are these 2 Anons how about we make it easier for them to research by not posting off-topic. 990s & Financial information on Narconon Only, just an idea.
I hear ya, but there are folks looking at other Cof$ entity 990s, not just narCONons. That's why I'm thinking a situation room set up something like this: Sit Room: "$cientology Related Entity Form 990s - Post only related financial information" Topic: "narCONon of (state1) Form 990s" Topic: "narCONon of (state2) Form 990s" Topic: "narCONon of (state as needed) Form 990s" Topic: "Cof$ (of state if needed) Form 990s" Topic: "RTC Form 990s" Topic: "CCHR (of state if needed) Form 990s" Topic: "TWTH Form 990s" Topic: "ABLE Form 990s" Topic: Additional Topics for other entities Form 990s as needed Then we comb the rest of WWP for relevent Form 990 info and get it moved into the appropriate Topic in this Sit Room. Which should make it much easier, and faster, to locate relevent financial data when needed. And when 990s are found, links to their location should definately be included, even if the entire form is posted to the Topic. BigBeard
I agree with you 100% maybe somehow in the Thread Title, you might ask Please Only Post on Related Financials etc. I'm just saying the thread Title will always be known prior to clicking the link. Conveying some type of request for only pertinent info, might head off de-rails and other tangents before they start. Just an idea
Maybe not, but there's still a lot of info available that could prove useful in places like: http://www.eri-nonprofit-salaries.c...ge=All&EIN=&NTEE=All&Cobrandid=0&Syndicate=No and this: http://www.eri-nonprofit-salaries.com/index.cfm?FuseAction=NPO.Summary&EIN=930801236&Cobrandid=0 It wouldn't hurt to have this archived. Once thing I noticed in differences in the NTEE/ERI NTEE codes, some even classifying Cof$'s as "Christian". BigBeard
I just thought of something, do we have all of the Narconon 990s now for 2010? I'd like to have them all by this weekend if they are available as I've thinking about graphically illustrating how the grants were distributed between facilities and narCONon int'l. I think it might help in understanding how the grant money flows and maybe we can figure out why some facilities grant hundreds of thousands to other facilities. Unless someone already knows why...
Agreed. The request has been posted to the mod forum, but chances are this won't happen right away - sue is the only one who can change the forum structure, and he's incredibly busy irl atm. In the meantime, I can splice the thread into the 6 specific topic threads that you suggested, if you or anyone else would point out which posts should be posted to which thread.
