Robert Murphy thought he was doing the right thing when he signed his daughter, Stacy Murphy, into the Narconon Arrowhead, which bills itself as the "premiere drug treatment center in Oklahoma" with a "76 percent" cure rate.
He was desperate to get Stacy, 20, help, and didn't even balk at the center's high cost.
But when Stacy died July 19, and the center listed her death as "unattended," Robert Murphy was irate and began investigating.
The facility claims it has medical personnel "on staff" 24 hours a day, but it turns out that doesn't mean they are "on site" Murphy told Tulsa's KRMG.
"You believe they have a 24-hour physician in the building and all these nurses in the building, (that's) what you hear when they say they have a 24-hour staff. Well in actuality they have'em on staff, but they're not in the premises," he said.
"They had her for 10-plus hours where they knew she was in an OD situation and nobody did anything. No monitoring of her, no physician was called, no 911, didn't call her parents, nothing. Just put her in a room and left her to die," he said.
