Can Somebody Explain Why Mexico Would Even Have Drug Rehab Centers Since Mexico Says Its Only a US Problem?

Question by I’m gonna start another riot: Can somebody explain why Mexico would even have drug rehab centers since Mexico says its only a US problem?
Even for regular families with addicts, drug centers can be ugly places. Parents commit unruly adolescents or even their adult children against their will for months at a time. Beatings are often part of therapy, hygiene can be poor and lax enforcement of regulations prevails.

No one knows how many drug rehabilitation clinics and treatment centers there are. The Mexican government is expanding a series of Nueva Vida rehab centers for teenagers, erected since 2007 with $ 205 million confiscated from a Shanghai -born drug trafficker.

Explain What Mandatory Minimum Sentencing Is and How It Applies to Current Legal Situations. Is It Working?

Question by [email protected]: Explain what mandatory minimum sentencing is and how it applies to current legal situations. Is it working?

Best answer:

Answer by BeachBum
A mandatory sentence is a court decision setting where judicial discretion is limited by law. Typically, people convicted of certain crimes must be punished with at least a minimum number of years in prison. Mandatory sentencing laws vary from country to country.

Adherents of mandatory sentencing believe that it reduces crime and ensures uniformity in sentencing. Potential criminals and repeat offenders are expected to avoid crime because they can be certain of their sentence if they are caught.

How to Get a Job at a Drug Rehab Clinic?

Question by bluebell82: How to get a job at a drug rehab clinic?
I’m very interested in getting a job at a drug rehab clinic, but I do not have a college degree. I did go to college for 4 years, but I had to drop out for financial & personal reasons. Having dealt with drug/alcohol addiction in my family, I feel like this would be a good career path to pursue. I’d like to know what kinds of jobs at these types of facilities are available to people without a degree. If anyone has any serious information, that would be great.
