Drug Court?

DRUG COURT

Before we get too heavy into the criticism of drug court and questioning the workability of the treatment provided there, let’s make sure that we have fully assessed the alternative which is prison.

We need to ask how well does prison work and what value do we have at the end of the day. A wasted life is of no value to anyone.

We also need to ask who is criticizing drug court. Is it someone who really cares about the problem or a vested interest?

We need a study on the efficacy of drug court vs. jail in terms of cost and effectiveness. Those who are footing the bill (the taxpayers) need to know the result and be given the opportunity to decide what they want as a community.

In this country we have systems for such a process, though it is seldom used in the field of addiction. Drugs are big money for a lot of people and the more people addicted the more money is made for the dealer, the attorneys and the jail. It is LOT of money and we need to beware of criticism of things that could possibly work to decrease the number of persons who flow through the system.

The best thing for families with an addiction problem is to get the loved one into treatment before they get arrested. Do it while you still have the opportunity to help. Once a person is in the system all outside control is virtually lost.
