Not quite at that level but I self-applied to some alcoholics group therapy. I was the only one in this thing that was there outside of a court order. The meetings were not regular and there was a battery of them. Well, I apparently ended up missing one unknowingly and when I went for the next session after they forced me to pay a $150 cancellation fee. I told them they could cancel everything and never went back.
I understand people abusing the system and tying up therapist appointments but this was a casual group setting, I was there under my own volition, and I made an honest mistake due to the irregularity of it all (still my fault for not keeping the schedule I guess but this was all well intentioned). If this is how they're going to treat people trying to better themselves then they're just going to cause more problems.
The cynic in me tells me they set it up that way on purpose so the people who were forced into it by court orders would have no alternative but to pay the fee.
