FINANCE REHAB, NOT ADDICTION

Re: Drug rehab centre at a crossroad, Westcoast News, March 29

The best way to help drug addicts is to help them kick their
addiction and regain their
dignity and pride.

I still remember the answer of a heroin drug addict when asked by a TV
journalist when she would consider rehab. The addict said she would
wait until the supervised injection program ended.

I would rather see my tax dollars spent to help rehab centres such as
Baldy Hughes Therapeutic Community than provide free drug kits to
perpetuate addiction.
