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.
