[QUOTE="SageAngel, post: 765406, member: 33368"] Thank you for your kind words, and I am sorry for all of the heartache that this life has piled upon you. None of us derserve this. It is a huge challenge for us and society as a whole. I wish there were better programs in place that were actually accessible to the ones who need it most. I dont feel that incarceration is helpful to anyone, and it just perpetuates the anger and relapse that we have seen all too often. And even though there are programs, there are so many barriers and red tape to contend with. They expected my niece to show up for appointments for intake and evaluation- she is gravely disabled and does not have transportation. I have begun to talk to her about her mental illness, as she is not getting this kind of treatment ( talk therapy) in her current facility. I get it! 126 people from all walks of life that need to be controlled in this environment. They use a one size fits all approach, and throw pharceuticals at them to see what sticks and provides some semblence of control. We live in a broken world, but this model of healthcare does nothing but perpetuate the disease of addiction and mental illness. [/QUOTE]
