There are lots of drug rehabs
The addict has to want sobriety bad enough to go through them
Accomplices should be criminally charged
They are stone cold animals
There are rehabs but in some places not nearly enough beds and in fact waiting lists.
Huntington, West Virginia needs at least a 500 bed unit one for men and one for women. So yea..1000 bed unit. No not kidding. This is for the whole county.
My sister has been in a 100 rehabs since 1985....she just went into her 101st 2 days ago...always on the taxpayers dime.
Back in 1995 my late grandmother told me that even though she is her granddaughter and that she loves her that she believes that she absolutely HOPELESS...22 years ago.
For a lot of people rehab is nothing but a rest break.
A vacation of sorts...
Thats true. And the people, that make up the government, have to want a better outcome for this probem bad enough to find a better approach. And right now, they don't.
