Why Do “Drug Rehab” Cults Continue to Thrive Despite Their Many Documented Cases of Abuse?

Question by : Why do “drug rehab” cults continue to thrive despite their many documented cases of abuse?
Why do cults that follow the STRAIGHT INC model continue to exist? STRAIGHT finally got shut down in 1993 but not until HUNDREDS of cases of abuse became documented. Even so, many of the STRAIGHT clinics simply changed their names and continued to abuse the teens held captive there. Verbal abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse, sleep deprivation, forced separation from parents, kidnappings, and false imprisonment are just a few of the many crimes that all STRAIGHT based cults are charged with. Many have been shut down but why do they continue to exist??
