That would also help but what I've suggested has been done and proven to work. On top of that the ground work has already been laid out for us so we just need to copy and implement the same thing here. Then we can start working on building famalies. You can't build famalies if your throwing dads in jail for smoking weed or catching them with a little bit of cocaine. Then making it harder for them to get normal jobs.
On top of that do you know how hard it is for drug addicts to get help when it comes to rehab? I know a girl who recognized she was an addict and wanted help. She got lucky cause she was on her dad's healthcare plan and was able to use it to get admitted to a rehab facality with everything paid for her. Without that she'd have nothing she'd have to continue to hang around and be around the same people who were telling her not to go to rehab and to stay. I was 1 of 2 people urging her to go. If we stop fighting the war on drugs and redirect that money towards free treatment facalities we could help so many people. |
Let me clarify that I agree with the spirit of the article you posted. So thank you for your clarification. Now, I believe prisons were made for punishment. That doesn't mean a person cannot be rehabilitated through prison which is another issue in itself. But what I am saying is that when you have a support group for those who have problems whether it substance abuse , sexual addiction, or whatever, it serves as an avenue to possibly address the real problem. With that being said, the family is that preventive support group provided that the members are supportive to begin with. I raise my daughter to do good regardless of how imperfect I am. Hopefully, she'll learn from my successes and mistakes so she can be better than me in turn better to others. And if she goes "astray" for whatever reasons, there are support group to help her get back on track. So long story short, I think I understand where you are coming from now that you're explained yourself further.
