Come Clean by Terri Paddock
“Justine Ziegler is taken, against her will, to ‘Come Clean Drug Rehabilitation Center’, the same rehabilitation center her twin brother Joshua Ziegler attended. After an interview with the program director in which most of her answers are twisted out of context to make her seem like a drug addict, Justine is admitted to Come Clean for what is supposedly a three day observation. First she is subjected to a strip search by a senior member, before being taken to the main hall, where the members of the program are “motivating” as part of their rehabilitation”
