This individual worked for Gatehouse Academy a known fraudulent and partly abusive NATSAP affiliated therapeutic boarding school that closed its last campus as of 2012. Dr Carlton worked for them until the states forced closure of the ranch through Transitional Living Corporation in 2010 and continued to work for the main campus until its closing in 2012. The GHA ranch operated for years without a basic license required by state law to provide any type of treatment involving the detoxification of clients or the dispensing of narcotics prescribed by this Dr. This Dr oversaw or was supposed to over see the detoxification portion of the residential treatment. This individual failed to properly oversee, regulate and attend to clients experiencing mild, moderate and severe delirium tremens which can be fatal. Upon a 2010 inspection the state of AZ stated that the facility was unlicensed to provide detoxification services. They observed potential dangerous situations including multiple clients that should have been in a licensed detox center and acted by shutting the facility down. This is very serious. Furthermore when looking at his past prescribing practices their are multiple reports on Vitals regarding overprescribing and negligent staff at one of Dr Carltons offices. One of these negligent staff members was using heavily. Not this Doctors fault but it makes you wonder his affiliation with this individual. His medical board record is available online. Now we are seeing that at one of Dr Carltons current jobs they have just come under scrutiny ending up in a Vice investigative report due to illegal kickbacks that partly resulted in the death of a client. I would ask this doctor his affiliation with David Gates from National Therapeutic Services and Kent Sherman from Gatehouse Academy. The troubled teen industry is violating teens rights and is blatantly unsuccessful except for those profiting from providing unlicensed and unregulated abusive treatment that prays on suffering families. I would stay far far away from any doctor associated with GHA which has now closed all six campuses after the CEO was convicted of laundering money through the company. The entire thing reads like a trashy tabloid and unfortunately is not uncommon at NATSAP affiliated therapeutic boarding schools. The Federal House Committee on Education and Labor also documented this same troubling trend during the televised congressional hearings regarding abusive NATSAP affiliated programs in 2008. This information can be referenced and varafied using the advocacy web sight Heal-onlinedotorg. You can also call the AZ Attorney Generals Office regarding his past job at Gatehouse Academy.
