ADDICTS NEED MORE SLOTS IN TREATMENT CENTERS

Drug users need to get help. There are two reasons why people are doing
drugs: substance abuse is a disease, and it's very easy to get drugs.

A relative of mine is a recovering heroin addict. He had everything -- a
family, a great job and a great home. Now he has nothing. Fortunately, he is
changing his life. He is in rehab, although it was difficult getting him
into a program. Many of the centers are closed. People who want help getting
off the streets can't get it.

We need to open centers to help get drug users off the streets.
