homelessness treatment centers

This post is a follow up on one I did for hometown of Greensboro and Guilford County, but since this is a state wide problem I have decided to post here also.

My post of January 17, 2007 talked about out drug problems in the United States and here in Greensboro. I went on to explain how our War on Drugs started in 1970 by President Nixon simply isn’t working because we are trying to eliminate the producers rather than the consumers. When there is no longer a market for drugs the producers will stop on their own accord. To eliminate the consumers we need much more in the way of drug treatment and rehabilitation. And yet of the budget for the War on Drugs only 6% is spent on treatment whereas 94% is spent on interdiction trying to keep the drugs out of the country. Stupid and not working!
