[QUOTE="2much2recover, post: 647633, member: 18366"] Yes, reading the article from the Huffington Post is definitely enlightening. Why make a person suffer in 2015 using practices for another addiction (alcohol) that are out of the 1930's? I have some acquaintances that almost lost heir son to a heroin OD so after seeing everything they went through - well I can not see another family ever having to go through this and I agree with the article that we need to wake up to a new rehab reality that if we don't change away from abstinence based programs to more modern medical alternative we are just damning heroin addicts to a possible life ending OD. Also I can not imagine what the medical financial costs were of bringing my friends son back - well actually taxpayers ended up paying for it because the son was uninsured. So society is paying for the failure of abstinence based programs anyway (regarding heroin). [/QUOTE]
