The "Not In My Backyard" argument at its finest. We need drug treatment centers, people need help. Drug addicts are all around us, I guarantee you work with many. We want then healthy we want to give them help. Many people in Fairview have drug problems, give them a chance at help. We can't just expect drug addicts to die they don't in nost cases. So we can either get them help or deal with vast societal consequences that comes with drug addiction. If you want better neighbors, better kids in your kids homes, less cop calls to your neighbors houses, and less crime, get drug addicts help. Many of these people aren't extreme cases. How many alcoholics do you work with? Get people some help. It'll help you too.
