[QUOTE="PonyGirl65, post: 686657, member: 20087"] You're right Roxana. I put my son in treatment at 14. Didn't work. I would have liked him to get more treatment as he grew older, but who knows. I completely agree we could change our response to addiction from criminal to social/health, but I do believe there does need to be some kind of incarceration involved as well. I think you have to be "locked up" to "get treatment" for addiction. At least to a certain degree. Making treatment voluntary isn't the best route either. I don't know. It's such a complex problem. And everyone responds differently. But bottom line, YES, the focus needs to shift. [/QUOTE]
