As I watched the local news last night, I was saddened to know that d.r.u.g.s have been a way of life for....kids! Kids! Not that I'd condone d.r.u.g.s for adults, but kids? They're supposed to be the future..our future. And here they are, indulging in alcohol and d.r.u.g.s. A very sad plight.
The local news showed poor kids sniffing rugby to get their "fix". That this is where it all starts, the addiction. And the government's "solution"? Get the kids out of the streets, place them in some sort of local shelter for a few days.....and then they let them go back to their parents, their way of life, their addiction. Not exactly a solution.
Why can't the government come up with this sort of drug rehab program? They have a great thrust: they leave it up to the individual to come up with a lifestyle change. The program simply guides the individual to discover his or her own way of developing the needed lifestyle changes in order to be free of the addiciton.
And the facilities? WOW! This word describes it. 5,000 square feet. Set right smack in the middle of nature with hills and trees. Beautiful, and more importantly relaxing for the patient. Makes it more conducive to WANT to have that all-important lifestyle change.
This type of program is what our local kids need to get out of the vicious cycle that is addiction. I don't know how much it would cost the goverment, but it is for our kids, our future. Maybe some NGOs (National Government Organizations) are thinking about it. All I know is, this is one proram that I'd be willing to help support. For our kids's sake.
