America’s Drug Policy Sucks!!?
Question by bamafleck: America’s drug policy sucks!!?
Why are people being locked up for non-violent drug crimes. These people have a disease and the only hope for them is treatment. The annual cost for an inmate to stay in prison is about $ 25,000. The cost of an inpatient drug treatment center is $ 9,000. Yet only 40% of our prisons have drug treament programs, when 80% of inmates have a substance abuse problem!!
So who beliefs this too?
Sorry “believes”
So you’d rather have your tax dollars annually contribute to somebody in jail who will probably be back for the same offense unless treated? Give me a break. You probably never made a mistake huh? The problem with their mistake is it changed their brain functions!!
Hey martinam…do some research on addiction…And in violent crimes, punishment must come because there was an actual victim involved

Is My Husband an Alcoholic, Does He Need Treatment, and How Do I Handle It?
Question by Ashley: Is my husband an alcoholic, does he need treatment, and how do I handle it?
My husband and I have been married for 8 years. When we met he had 1 DUI. But he’s had 2 more, for a total of 3. The last one was about 5 years ago when he was 30. I never understood why I could drink a little and then stop, but he never could. Once he starts he can’t quit and come home at a decent time and not be completely wasted. Today he started drinking at 1pm during golf and then at the bar for a total of 13 hours. He doesn’t drive when he drinks anymore because of all the DUI’s, thank goodness that is one lesson he has learned. But he comes home and argues with me about anything. I can be asleep and he will start mumbling any random thing to start an argument. Sometimes I pretend to still be sleeping, other times I can’t resist to argue back just because I’m so fed up with it all. He ruined my birthday last weekend and embarrassed me in front of my friends. I rarely go out because I’m always home with our son, so when we do go out I like to have a good time, and the drunk fights he starts ruins it almost every time. Besides the binge drinking for hours at least one night almost every weekend, he also drinks 2-3 nights during the week. It’s anywhere from a couple beers to several. That wouldn’t concern me if it wasn’t for the added weekend binge drinking. His father and aunt were alcoholics and both died at early ages because of the disease. His friends all drink similar to what he does so it makes it hard to control unless I were to insist he not hang out with them. Which would not stop him, I know my husband, and would only cause additional issues. I do love him and want to be a family with him for our son. But all the years of this has also made me grown to resent him and on some level makes me unattracted to him. It worries me that when I think of leaving it doesn’t really upset me. When he’s sober we have a great time and he’s a great dad. But he does not think he has a problem at all and just likes to have fun. Does he and what can I do help family?
What’s the Connection Between Drug Use and HiV? Will Addiction Treatment Lessen the Spreading of HIV and AIDS?
Question by annaliese r: What’s the connection between drug use and HiV? Will addiction treatment lessen the spreading of HIV and AIDS?
I do know that they’re somehow interrelated. I was just curious as to how addiction treatment could possibly lessen the spreading of the aforementioned diseases.

Answer by alicia c
Drug addiction treatment would be able to reduce the spread of AIDS/HIV because drugs users are more likely to get affected by such diseases. Treating drug addicts will definitely help. Studies have shown that those who inject drugs who do not let themselves get subjected to treatment are six times more liekly to get infected with HIV or AIDS, as opposed to those who let themselves get treated.
