The Seed was a controversial drug rehabilitation program in the United States that operated between 1970 and 2001.

Art Barker and his entourage would travel back and forth a couple times a month.

Following the release of the Senate report, along with criticisms from experts about the techniques and high suicide rate of the attendees, The Seed began to decline over the next two decades.

By 2001, only the original Fort Lauderdale location remained, and the founder, Arthur Barker, retired and dissolved the organisation.
