Drug War Casualties

Here is a link to an interesting article by Radley Balko about abuse that occured at Drug
Treatment Facilities. Radley is a libertarian and probably pro-drug legilazaiton. He is wrong about that, drugs shouldnt be legalized for a variety of reasons, but he is right that abuse has gone on in drug treatment programs in the past and is probably going on now. Sometime in the future I will write something on why drugs shouldnt be legalized as more and more people are becoming confused about that, many of them otherwise sensible conservatives and libertarians.


The American people often hear about drug treatment and the need for drug treatment. But what is this treatment? And how effective is drug treatment? That is hardly ever talked about at least honestly.


I have said and here say again that most treatment programs are ineffective and dont really help people at all. Even the so-called best, like Alcoholics Anonymous, mere substitute addiction to meetings to the addiction to alcohol or drugs.

What we really need is personal repentance and turning to God. Real repentance.
