What does rehabilitation entail for you?
If we're looking at addiction as a mental illness to be rehabilitated from, I would posit that forcibly housing them with a bunch of other mentally ill people, some of whom may be violent, would be traumatic enough to most people that it would more than negate the benefits of many rehabilitative interventions.
- mulmen 7y agoRather than focus on what might not work I would rather put energy into finding what does. Things that do not work: what we do today. Things that might work: some form of rehabilitation. If locking up drug addicts in a room and telling them to sort it out doesn’t work maybe we should try a new form of rehab instead of just saying “well I guess rehab doesn’t work”.
