War on drugs in cities across Canada and the USA by Options Okanagan Treatment Center in Kelowna, British Columbia treating opiate addiction and recovery.
Even though society has made great leaps and bounds in the world of health and technology, many people still have problems with addiction. Nevertheless, we as a culture still have a ton of problems with addiction, and organizations are always looking for new sources of money to treat these disorders.
One reason we’re still dealing with addiction problems is because addicts still carry a badge of stigma with them. Most addicts are judged as either having genetic issues or making poor decisions only. Even back in the 1930s, when studies on addiction began in earnest, most addicts were seen as degenerate sinners with no willpower. People were more likely to punish addicts for their issues as opposed to getting them help.
Over the years, treatment centers have popped up and many specialists have tried to find solutions to these issues. One of them was trying to find a cure for drug dependency. However, things began going backward in the early 1970s when President Richard Nixon began a large “war on drugs” in America. The core of this policy was locking up every drug dealer and user police came across, as they were seen as completely lawless and irredeemable.
Therefore, it’s not hard to see why it’s difficult to find adequate care and solutions for today’s addicts. Most communities do not have the resources to take care of their addicts. Meanwhile, substance abuse continues to be a problem. Yet there is some good news that says awareness of substance abuse and how to treat it is on the rise. As more education is given in North America’s communities, we can better learn about our fellow man and how to help him with his addictions.
There may be more cases of addiction than ever before these days, we are also seeing more recoveries and good stories. There are new medications and treatments available all around the globe, so it’s warming to see new respect paid to those who are suffering from substance abuse. Although the war on drugs may no be won anytime soon, we are slowly chipping away addiction from society.
