While we don’t officially know Josh Duggar’s whereabouts , the leading theory is that he’s undergoing a six-month treatment program at the Reformer’s Unanimous rehab center in Illinois. As for the reports that Josh has gone missing from the center, many fans believe that was simply an attempt by the Duggars’ reps to keep the media focus off of the facility in Rockford, IL for fear of distracting Josh – or exposing some of RU’s more bizarre practices. We’ve already detailed the extreme method of “treatment” the Duggars have chosen for Josh , but now, sources familiar with RU are saying that Josh won’t receive any proper counseling or therapy, as the center exists only to make money for the Institute in Basic Life Principles, and its disgraced founder, Bill Gothard. The Duggars were devoted followers of Gothard’s and based their homeschool teachings on materials provided by the IBLP. When Josh was sent to counseling after admitting to molesting his sisters, his parents entrusted him to the IBLP. Clearly, the treatment wasn’t terribly effective, and Gothard resigned shortly thereafter, following a scandal in which he was accused of groping and sexually his female employees. Now, Josh is receiving a more intense version of the same treatment, and it’s no more likely to deter him from engaging in deviant behavior the second time around. “There’s no medical license, and it’s not even clear what Josh is doing there,” a source familiar with the facility tells Radar Online. “It’s really just another way for the church to make money.” Fortunately for the folks at the IBLP, the Duggars have plenty of money – and if they stick with their current methods, Josh will need a lot of treatment.
