Greyhound therapy

Greyhound therapy is when someone is sent far away from their home, family, and friends to receive psychological or medical treatment or to be punished for something they have done wrong.

Think of it this way - if you misbehave, your parents may send you to a corner or take away TV time. Greyhound therapy for grown-ups is kind of the same, except instead of just sitting in the corner, they are taken away on buses to different states to receive help or punishment.

This type of therapy is often used with people who have mental or behavioral issues and need specialized treatment. They are sent to far-away facilities instead of receiving treatment closer to home.

Sometimes, people who have committed crimes and are in jail are also sent on greyhound therapy buses to serve their time in different states. This is done to try and reduce overcrowding in local jails.

While this type of therapy can be effective in some cases, it can also be harmful. Being away from loved ones and familiarity can be stressful and traumatic, especially for children. It’s important to make sure that people who are sent on these buses are receiving proper care and treatment.
