Inside the $30k-A-MONTH rehab center teaching millennials how to grow up with classes in basic life skills like cleaning and 'how to show up'

For $28,000 a month, patients will get taught basic life skills such as cooking, cleaning and even 'showing up' at Yellowbrick in Illinois

Other treatments include therapy, yoga, meditation and art therapy

The rehab center was founded ten years ago to specifically treat 'emerging adult' brains - millennials who had 'failed to launch' from their parents

Patients include a student who tried to take his own life after his parents found out he'd lost his part-time job

Diagnosed with depression, major anxiety, and panic disorder in remission, he was prescribed what Yellowbrick called 'nutraceuticals' aka vitamins

Success of rehab center is mixed, with 80 per cent of patients relapsing

Brain experts have also questions some treatments they say are unproven

We have all heard the stereotype; the fragile little snowflake millennial who cannot deal with the real world.

Well now an Illinois rehab center is charging the parents tens of thousands of dollars a month to teach their pampered millennials how to finally grow up.

For $28,000 a month, privileged 20-somethings who have failed to reach their 'true potential', will get basic life skills in scheduling, cleaning and even 'showing up', according to Fusion.

Therapy and group sessions are supplements by treatments such as art classes, yoga and meditation.

Paid for by parents with more money than brains. If they would have spent some time with their kids, and applied a swat to the fanny when they act out, they wouldn't have this problem.

The parents need to realize they ruined their kids. No amount of money can fix a lack of motivation

They need to be given a copy of the help-wanted ads and a swift kick in the ass.

Sadly most of the parents deserve the same.

How are more “therapy, yoga, meditation and art therapy” possibly going to make a difference?

Check out all the "scientific" jargon in the bullet points for that ad.

A sucker must still be born every minute to swallow this hogswaddle.

Do they have a therapy llama? And a spare for when the first is petted until it is bare?

I really can't tell if this is satire or not.

That’s where you talk out your deep thoughts about painting while doing the “crane”.

Uh, aren't things like art therapy and yoga the reason why these fragile little snowflakes can't cope with working a 9 to 5 job in the first place?

Back in my day they used to call ‘em finishing schools. Mostly for women back then.

If I recall correctly, that relationship didn’t end well. But that was my first impression, why pay $30k per month when you can be abused and degraded (in a good way) and get paid for the experience?

What a racket!! For $28k per month, that sort of a relapse rate is obscene. Perhaps it's more a case of the other 20% being helped in spite of the treatment rather than because of it.

And Obamacare surely covers most of it, on the parents’ plan, up to age 26.
