To watch someone who struggles with addiction, it really is eye opening to the disease. If you've never seen it, it's really hard to identify it. Very, very sad.

No one wakes up and thinks, "Huh, I wanna be addicted to some substance"

They treat everyone as a drug seeker.

Congratulations on your sobriety! #onedayatatime

And we did it so that the rich could get tax breaks based on the propaganda they fed us.

And then when you DO finally end up in the healthcare system, you’re generally sicker, care will be more expensive, risk of complications and mortality will be higher. Not sure that’s an awesome plan.

Yes, many doctors and nurses are just bad people that wanted a secure and well paying job.Ever heard the saying “your high school bully is a nurse now”. I’ve seen it happen over and over.

I understand addiction, and some people need to hit rock bottom repeatedly before they’re willing to help themselves. Why you’re completely OK with people being afraid to leave their homes and prioritizing drug addicts over them, boggles my mind. I guess your children aren’t afraid to go to school.

This is true. You have to want to quit, it comes from within. Truly, congratulations to you. No small feat.

If my son was so lost that he was doing heroin or fenty every walking moment, disturbing the peace, damaging property and stealing, and screaming on the streets at all hours of the night, I would fully support rounding him up and putting him away in a treatment centre. What is wrong with you?

WHAT IS YOUR SOLUTION? MY CITY BUILD TWO DOZEN MINI HOMES FOR THE HOMELESS THIS YEAR AND HALF OF THEM ARE OUT OF COMMISSION BECAUSE OF DAMAGES.THERE ARE PEOPLE SHOOTING UP IN FRONT OF SCHOOLS AND NO ONE DOES A THING. THE METHADONE CLINIC STEET LOOKS LIKE A SET ON THE WALKING DEAD.

It’s not a “preference”. Recurrently choosing the substance over all of those other things is LITERALLY the illness. I’m not saying there are easy solutions, but to shrug your shoulders and say “eh, that’s what they want” is just ignorant and asinine.

Not always. They often end up in a hospital because their health is compromised. Sometimes due to their use of substances, sometimes due to self-neglect secondary to their use of symptoms. If someone ASKS for treatment, they should have it.

People who can't afford a roof over their head definitely can't afford rehab. A significant portion of addicts are also neurodivergent and didn't get the help they needed for that. Leaving people to die on the street is a special kind of ugly.

Legalize drugs and use the profits from government-run dispensaries to fund top quality addiction treatment. That would cut off the flow of money to gangs and cartels, and support the health of the addicted.

"They do it to themselves. If they don't care about themselves, then why should I care about them." It feels like that is kind of the mantra of a lot of people in the medical community.
