In the best of economic times it is an ongoing struggle to get public officials and the general public to understand both the enormity of the public health problem of addiction to drug and alcohol in this country, as well as the tremendous benefits that come from funding appropriate treatment and recovery support services. Studies have demonstrated that every dollar dedicated to the treatment of persons with addictions is returned sevenfold to communities in the form of a reduction in criminal activity, highway injuries and death, healthcare and social welfare costs, not to mention a reduction in domestic violence and child abuse and neglect. Treatment dollars also contribute to increased job and school productivity, reduced absenteeism and on-the-job injuries, all of which result in safer and more stable families and neighborhoods.

I no longer know her or know how to deal with her. I am praying that she will get into a rehab center before she no longer exists. It is hard to see your child's life destroyed by drug addiction, especially when they have seen what it has done to others. she began having seizures at the age of 36, and she became so depressed by the fear of them. Along with the seizures and the different meds she had to take one thing after another led to this horrible addiction she now has at the age of 39. she is a caring and loving soul deep down; but this addiction has completely turned her around.
