I don't know what you mean about "that's still not what you meant, is it?" You sound like a nut. Well, of course places are available if you have money. If you'd pull your head out of your a-- for a few minutes you might realize that many drug addicts aren't exactly carrying around extra money for help (let me guess, their families undoubtedly have the money for it)? My point is that there isn't enough money for treatment. Get rid of the idiotic laws and crazy artificial profit margins and spend the money on treatment. We'd all be better off for it.

With choices come consequences...I know that drug addicts don't have a lot of money at their disposal. You weren't looking for treatment for addicts, you were looking for treatment for addicts at the expense of those who are not addicts...gumment paid. If I don't believe in subsidized treatment for drunks, why would I believe in subsidized treatment for crackheads?

What addicts do is either my business, or not...if it's not my business, it's not my problem. I have no interest in subsidizing a lifestyle I recognize as destructive. If an addict has the right to drink/smoke/shoot up/whatever, then they have the right to lay in the ditch until they feel better, or die.

I hope that was clear enough for you...drugs seem to have affected the function of your brain cells.
