“To fix homelessness build more psychiatric hospitals to accommodate schizophrenics,drug addicts and alcoholics.”
YEP! They can’t advocate for this though, as it’s THEIR SIDE that demanded that Reagan turn them all loose in the first place. So, it MUST be about housing now.
I’m sorry we do need more inpatient facilities and outpatient care centers. The only for a person to get help and get admitted is to say I’m going to hurt myself or someone else.
Among the mentally ill are our Vets. Getting treatment takes weeks and months to get an appointment. I’m involved with many Vets who need and want help, but help comes to late. Not enough Dr’s, practitioners, facilities to help folks who suffer from a mental crisis, break-down due to life events.
I have a couple family members who couldn’t get help and just gave up. They weren’t drug addicts or alcoholics. Just good people who had major life events throw their life out of kilter.
