Why Can’t Drug Rehab Be More Affordable?
Saturday, October 25th, 2008Where do our tax dollars go? Each year we throw billions at programs and plans for education, military/defense and health care–including drug and alcohol rehab. But it seems no matter how much we pour into the “War on Drugs,” things get worse and worse each year.
Our basic human rights grant us the right to affordable medicine and care, yet the programs which are provided have anywhere from a 3-11% success rate. This means that of the millions of Americans currently abusing drugs, only a handful will get better. And the rest will end up in other rehabs, in jail or dead.
Or maybe they will end up like a kid I read about in the news today: a young kid who is considered a “success story,” but who truthfully is just on a replacement drug and is just as dependent on his methadone as he was on his heroin.
On goes this continuous cycle of jumping from one ineffective rehab to another, trying to find a workable way to live free of alcohol and drugs in all their many shapes and sizes.
Find a long term drug rehab center which supports this methodology and which does not have a vested interest in your continued use of prescription drugs.
