Drug Abuse: Drug Abuse Treatment, What We Should Realize

Nowadays you can find a lot of drug rehab center around the world. Each center offer many programs which claim can help drug abuser solve their addiction problem. The question is: Are drug abusers really need treatment from rehab center? Or that place only waste the money without noteworthy results?

When the television, newspaper, or magazine give news about celebrities “recurring” to drug dependence program for the third or fourth time, many people think that rehab doesn’t really work. They say that public funding for the programs is a waste of tax dollars. How can an expensive treatment center be unsuccessful to treat the patients?

Remember, you have to know exactly about drug addiction before giving your opinion about the failure of these rehab centres. Drug addiction is a whole life problem.

Why Do Some Have a Problem With the Trans Fat Ban but Are Supportive With Illegalization of Natural Drugs?

Question by Dawn: Why do some have a problem with the trans fat ban but are supportive with illegalization of natural drugs?
The people that have a problem with the trans fat ban complain that is impedes on their personal freedom to put /treat their own body in a way they see fit. That is no different than the argument that drug pro-legalization/decriminalization individuals base their beliefs on…

Both trans fat (as well as over and under eating in general) and illegal natural substances like weed, shrooms, poppy derivatives etc. are supposedly bad for ones health and can cause some form of addiction eg. physical, mental or both and possible death.

However if an adult chooses to use one or both in a manner that does not impede on the rights and freedoms of another person how are the two really any different, and how exactly are they doing direct detrimental harm to others? And please don’t say those substances cause car accidents because so do legal substances/situations like properly prescribed pharmaceuticals, booze, and even natural emotional/health problems.
