Drug law changes focus on treatment for nonviolent offenders

Placing them in programs is llike saying it ok to use drugs,we'll clean you up once u get caught. I've seen hundreds of addicts and only one that has left it all alone and why, this person hit rock bottom and that's what it takes to realize that drugs were taking over her life. One out of hundreds, not worth it

Well, rally, looks like you've come across this "one out of hundreds" right here... Being a reformed addict, I can honestly say, yes, it does take ROCK BOTTOM, But I don't see EVERYONE of those rock bottoms get right either. What it takes is a true desire to want a better llife AND treatment, and a Higher Power, believe it or not, as corny as it sounds, people need to believe in something, and if you have enough support to go along with that fact, just sometimes it works! The real secret is getting all that excess baggage off your shoulders, so you can stand up and walk again. Once you gain enough confidence in yourself, and believe for a better life, you can begin to live one! Pessimists suck!And YOU suck because you don't believe that ONE person saved from drugs is WORTH IT? Matter of fact, YOU"RE not worth talking to...
