Drug Cuts closes residential treatment.

Our Local residential TX center will discharge 50 folks next month as long as current cuts remain in effect. That means 50 DOPO not getting help and being on the street causing more crimes to occur. Brilliant move by inept folks running this ship right into the ground.
Our Judge said no to residential last week because the DOC cut funding , the woman went to prison instead. Sad facts here . The overcrowded, understaffed, prisons will suffer for badly and the conditions are rip for a riot. What they have done is criminal.

Big waste of dollars that could go to properly staffing Probation offices and paying a competitive wage! Cold turkey in prison is a fine treatment plan. Maybe they can get addicted to freedom when they get out!

I agree, treatment is a scam and a myth perpetuated by those that make money off of it. What's the success rate 8%?

There is some good TX out there so I say we should try first time offenders in treatment before we lock them away . Having said that we will be locking them all away now because of treatment cuts. We will put them in a understaffed facility and make the pot just right for riots. Sad mismanagement by the dept.

It means 50 DOPO having to dig deep into their pockets and hope they don't get pricked by a needle with Hep.C in order to fund their own treatment! Less money for Dope. It would also help if the treatment providers would roll-back their pricing to more sensible amount!

I agree, the bleeding heart charade with these dopers has gone on long enough.
