Brian Wilmut owner and operator of Imagine Programs in Plano , Texas . His facility is listed as an Adult & Adolescent substance abuse services program . This guy and his emoyees (clones) our clearly taking advantage of pspple & children who have the disease or as in the adolescent symptoms of the disease of alcohol and or druh abuse . 99% of his clients are either at their bottom or close to this point with their disease . This is a very serious issue in the World we live in and should not be taken lightly . His facility preys on the weak and desperate souls that walk through his faciltirs doors . Most of the clientle have been either court ordered via Collin County probation or referred by Child protective services (CPS) . This is a very point in these peoples lives and in most cases the lives of their children . Very serious , these are peoples lives we our dealing with here . This facility and it's owner Brian Wilmut treat these people as cattle and his only interest I reaping as much cash as he can through siphoning hundreds and thousands of dollars through his clients insurance and even worse the tax payers of Collin County . This is just repulsive no other way too slice it . Brian Wilmut was once an employee of the Collin County probation system and instead of building a place of recovery for the people sent to him by Collin County probation or CPS he lathargic in his attempt . The facility has nothing to do with " recovery " or the repairing of peoples lives as result of the disease of drug abuse and alcoholism . The classes are nothing short of a giant complaint department . There are no lessons being taught , no therapy to be sought after , no curriculum , no mission statement nothing , absolutely nothing to aid in the recovery process .
Basically as I mentioned nothing more than a place to go and complain about how horrible life has become as a result of this disease . Imagine Programs is a joke and nothing more than a way for Brian Wilmut to line his pockets with hard earned tax payer money or the states (Texas) insurance program (NorthStar) as most of his clients do not have private insurance or the incredible thousands of dollars required if your cash pay only . So , he has found a way to beat the system by getting these people instantly approved and himself paid through the states insurance . It would be one thing if he offered anything in the way of help to these people who want their lives back , who choose to walk through his facilities doors even if they were referred or court ordered to attend . It is still a choice to make it to these classes on time and to make the effort to show up Only to find nothing but recovery cliches' and employees who follow in his example of not caring enough to help .
These people all have certificates to be Drug & Alchohol counselors and at one time may have helped in the aid of this disease but have since abandoned their ethics and morals for cushy jobs and pay checks and take no responsibility for their " non " actions and overall laziness . I know as well as anyone that has cone in contact with this incurable disease that alcohol and drug counselors are not magicians they do not have the ability to stop this disease and strike it from the earth but should they not at least do their jobs ? Offer hope and share in the what should be a rebuilding of peoples lives ? instead they take on the example of their lazy , money swindling emloyer , Brian Mulmut and Imagine Programs .
This is positively low life type of behavior and in all actuality criminal . The other facilities in Collin County are all recovery based and valiantly fight in the war of this disease that has affected nearly all of us in one way or another . Why does Brian Malmut and Imagine Programs able to have their doors remain open and for this discusting practice to go on ? This is an outrage to the highest power and this little round man needs to be stopped and in my opinion jailed for his crimes of theft , incompatence and worst of all his crime against weak and needing souls that he has in his so called "care" only his interests our being served and his appetite for the almighty dollar . I have no problem with making money but not off the suffering of others and then cover my actions up with shawl of recovery .
I will also be following this up very soon with the otherside of this .The adolescents he has under his care . I will leave you with this last thought on that very subject . Would you trust your teenager in the care of this man . In respect to teaching them the treacherous pitfalls that can come with the use of drugs and alcohol .
I came to Imagine programs with the impression that they helped people. While sitting in the group and listening to what they call their "check in" I quickly realized this was just a small group of people venting. There are no lessons, just every once in a while getting some scraps of paper and asked to draw something or glue magazine clippings to describe your life or your issues. No curriculum , no mission statement nothing , absolutely nothing in regards to how to get better. I sat there for 3 hours watching others on their phones, listening to music, sleeping and or talking about the prior day. And when it was Bryan's turn he would say ... "I'm Bryan and I like counseling". It literally is a group of people talking in a circle about their day. One day they actually sat around talking about all the drugs they did, almost like they were glorifying the sensation of the drugs.
I sat there and watch people moving around uncomfortably. Someone actually said they felt uncomfortable with all the drug talk. Bryan stated that he had a different approach with counseling that he wants to be peoples friends so he let people talk openly. Yes there're people with serious addictions. I ran into one in a store one time that had a case of wine and that person graduated a week later. There there are other who actually follow by the rules and will not get a break whatsoever. If you make a mistake like not see that you had a UA on a sheet of paper and nobody told you about it they will extend you two weeks no questions asked. If you miss more than 2 days for an emergency they will extend it for two weeks. There was two times that I can recall that Bryan actually sat and talked about addictions. The rest of the time he just sat there and listened to other people talk. Vent about your day and they get paid $75 a class.
They will not work with you whatsoever they just make your life harder and some people are already struggling with life when they walk through the doors. Its true what they say ... it is an easy way for Bryan Wilmut to line his pockets with hard earned tax payer money with insurance programs like NorthStar. He even talked about adding more classes that are covered by insurance and asked how to do it. He discussed about a client being forced back home and that he was seriously worry this child was sexually abused and how CPS is flawed. There were even times he wouldn't even show up to class and he would have a person who isn't even a counselor sit in and monitor the class. It's more like a hang out group where friends can vent and he pockets the cash. I learned more from the people in there rather than the actual counselor. Do I feel like Bryan has truly helped me? Absolutely not.
I've seen people strung out and graduate that's how much Bryan pays attention to the people in his Group. It would be one thing if he offered anything in the way of help or showed some sort or actual guidance. But he does not. I hope that he gets caught for the fraud was going on in that program. Because making money to not do anything is ludicrous and basing it on Collin County probation and CPS to get their clients is just a sure fire way he gets paid. He saw the opportunity and he took it and now is reaping the benefits. I hope one of three things come from this. One that he sees this and decides to actually try to help people, two he is shut down for pretending to actually help others recover or three someone ... family, friend or recovering addict sees this and will go someplace else for help. I came in clean and left clean but not because of Bryan. I did it soley because it was part of the program I needed to complete. I would never recommend this place for anyone.
