Document Summary
Many are older and have been using drugs for a long time. Their long term drug use and chaotic living conditions have seriously compromised their overall health. For this population, addiction is a root cause of their health problems, but to become candidates for addiction treatment, they must first be assisted in stabilizing the basic elements of their daily life. We want to help the addicts by reducing the risk of overdose yet in doing so we create more addicts. Sure a handful will enter a detox program but look at the huge number of more addicts we create by making the drug so accessible. Not to mention how hard we make it for addicts to quit when the drug is so accessible and everywhere they go dealers are pushing it in their face. http://www. streetlevelconsulting. ca/newsarticlesstats/opposingview. htm.
