Cops Decide Heroin Addicts Will Be Helped With Rehab, Not Arrested - Gloucester, MA

Forcing heroin addicts into rehab, yeah they're totally gonna be fine once they are out. They won't commit crimes afterwards or be a burden on society more than they are now! God, the self-centeredness that drug addicts have is ridiculous, if throwing them in jail doesn't work how the hell do you think throwing them in a forced rehab program is going to work? They tried this shit with the methadone program, it doesn't work. They're selfish leeches on society already, don't make them even more of a burden by holding their hands because "Awww you don't know, they probably had a fucked up life! waaaaaaaa give them a chance!" Boo fucking woo.

They already give these fuckers SSD if their addiction became too bad to where they're unable to mentally cope with the world after they've fucked up their life to the point of no return, you can't help these people. Sure, it might help a small minority of junkies but for the most part, they'll just go to Summer camp "Rehab" And get all sorts of other drugs prescribed to them while in rehab (Xanax, methadone, etc....) Then they get out and they'll be the same burden as they were before they went into rehab.

Spare me with the "You don't know what it's like!" Because I assure you, I know how these people are and if you're a recovering junkie, props for getting clean but I don't give a shit. The only thing I would support for a junkie breaking the law would be to be sent to forced labor camps near the Texas border.

It's kind of weird that drug addicts aren't shamed on Reddit like fat people are, it's this babying bullshit that makes them worse, quit feeling sorry for them. They made this decision, who gives a fuck if jail is too tough on them when they're throwing up for a week straight in a holding cell, if that doesn't stop them you honestly think a forced rehab is going to help them? I'm sure the majority of the people who will down vote this have never knew a junkie in their life, they're the most self centered people on the planet. Nobody forced them to put the needle in their arm. No sympathy for any of them, even family members. You have to be harsh with these people, the emotional burden they put on their family is bad enough, don't put an even bigger burden on society. Now junkies will have a get out of jail free card and into a resort with free drugs! Disgusting.
