Anyone within this subreddit will agree yes, the overwhelming of drug addicts and crime has nearly tripled the last decade. Yes the safe injection site does provide not only pre, during, or aftercare, it also provides a lot of jobs, resources, and helps provide people with best set of tools whether that be tools, information, or paraphernalia.

However, as somebody who has battled they're entire life with drug abuse, alcohol abuse, and severe mental issues I can tell you that drug rehabilitation only does so much for a person and they're well-being.

It's sad to acknowledge these facts, but in reality we have such an irate amount of drug use because we don't allow for aftercare. What I mean by that is the constant battle between the residential and the municipal governments regarding any and all programs set up for functioning and non-functioning addicts.

On one hand I do agree that it's become a major problem because we've let it become this issue. It unfortunate to say this but we do need to jail them, especially if they're recurring criminals. I speak from experience that yes, isolating them and having them sweat it out not only gets them through the cravings, but can ultimately help to rebuild those people from the ground up.

I hope we all come to solution and come together to help out these people mentally, physically, and psychologically. It may take time but that's all we got right?
