I have worked with a woman who has addictions...you will not convince me these are stable individuals....like time bombs....IMO.... So what happens if they can’t get their daily fix at the local give away clinic?......then what?
No, I don’t believe this is the answer for these people...the answer is to do what those who have successfully overcome their addictions and are living stable and free lives now....get off the drugs and don’t look back.
Atleast some of them can surely become stable individuals. No doubt there will be complications, but you can’t plan for the worst case scenario.
Thats the problem, though. Not everyone can or will get off drugs. Something like 0.1% of Americans are in prison on drug charges, and the percentage of addicts is probably atleast 1% or so. This is not just a lack of willpower.
