That's not cool at all. How the hell did they know Lisi was assessed there? Aren't these things medical records?? Kinda scary, hope it came from a source and not the actual place.
Indeed, there are provincial privacy records. But it is highly unlikely VN gave the info out themselves.
Vita Nova is an odd duck program. It has a residential program, but there are also transitional residential programs. People -- former residents/alumni --
would be in and out of there a lot. In addition, there are inquiry groups, after care groups -- if Lisi came in for an assessment and got the tour, it would be a simple thing
for one resident who is there at the time to phone the star and say "that Lisi guy was here!". And an assessment is just a fancy way of saying "hey, come check the place out".
It's probably much less formal than it implies.
On a side note, Vita Nova has a poor reputation in some ways. At one point in history, it was related to Caritas, but donations/politics/theories/personalities caused a split that was never healed. Vita Nova was makrted as the "kinder, gentler" version of Caritas. In fact a lot on their website seems written as if to specifically contradict Caritas' methods.
But the big problem seemed to be that I have met many, many addicts who claimed that drugs were rampant at VN, even in the residential program. Alumni brought them in or something like that. In the words of one client I had, who had done Vita Nova "I needed rehab after rehab because I was high the whole 3 months".
This is not first hand, however, just based on people's experiences that they related to me.
