>>8713650>diverted from the war on drugs to provide better rehabilitation services Having been through the court system, they won't even send low level possession or dealing to the joint anymore, it's all rehab. THey have to lower the prison population because in my state, OH, it's getting ridiculous. Number 5 in the USA for prison population (last time i checked).
I'm an alcoholic as well. All my illegal behavior comes from being drunk. The cost of detox in the USA, and the availability of detox/rehab for people with alcohol abuse issue ridiculously low.
We have the resources available to manage people with addiction, but you have to get there through interaction with law enforcement.
