He finally did it

So my buddy finally went in and filed a grievance against the head therapist of the 12-week program that he is in. He's been very afraid of doing this because he didn't want to come across as entitled or like he was trying to find an easy out. But this therapist has been treating him unfairly. Withholding medication for headaches not listening to him. he's really wanting to succeed at this program and get better but feels like this therapist is holding him back for some reason. He has a grudge against him or jealousy. He really wants to work the program and get better. All he is looking for is to have a different therapist be in charge of his case. He's trying to get our therapist to be the one to manage his case from now on.

So they are reviewing his case and should come up with a decision by the end of the day.

Good for him. A therapist is very important and he should certainly have the right to choose a different one. His recovery will depend on that relationship.

@bijouxbroussard is a bit more complicated for him because he is in a 12-week program for recovery from him attempting to take his life last month. There are certain rules that he must follow.. as part of the reason why he's so concerned. But that doesn't mean that the head therapist should be able to treat him badly like he has been.
