Additional information on Pathway Family Center is liberally furnished by critics who have never received treatment by Pathway Family Center, nor have they even visited Pathway Family Center. Their comments and opinions are simply that...opinions, which are based on treatment they may have received several decades ago before Pathway Family Center existed. Accordingly, their comments are not based on experience at Pathway Family Center, but at other treatment programs with which Pathway Family Center has no affilliation. Kids Helping Kids in Milford, Ohio was acquired by Pathway Family Center in July 2006 and immediately transitioned to the Pathway Family Center treatment program.
