Who cares is what I would argue on that front and let's save their life and get them back to where they and their families want.

The goal here should be 100% rehabilitation of a person, get their life in order and have them flurish post recovery.

The people's who's mental health has deteriorated as a result of these drugs generally aren't in a position to make the decision that is best for them.

I know it's not a popular opinion but one of the reasons why we have this level of drug abuse and the constant cycle of addition is a lack of real guts to solve the problem. Like I said in my previous post, the level of abuse is a result of some of our own policies and views on things. This doesn't occur to the same degree in other countries for a variety of factors.

We just can't have a small group of individuals running the show, costing the system literally hundreds of millions of dollars a year and the end result is another tragic death. This is on top of the utter level of destruction in terms of their families, victims families, theft, crime, abuse and a whole host more items.

The better overall plan is to screw what they "feel and think", get them into a secured treatment facility. House them, feed them, income support and assist them for the recovery. We can then give them the address to send the thank you card in the mail.

Better than as my ICU Dr friend says "We have these young nurses and Dr's who spend an hour trying to get an IV under intense pressure to save their life, than have the patient come back dead before were even done our shift"

What really is the point here?
