re: #86 IslandLibertarian

My brother went ‘round and ‘round in the “treatment” system for years. Never spent more than a night in jail, no forced institutional stays, just bounced from one rehab to the next…..til he was found dead…of an overdose…in his room…at a rehab house…
Some times you got to lock them up til they’re clean.

I’m sorry for your loss. Sometimes- there is no helping them.

I had a lady friend drink herself to death- she had liver disease, and couldn’t stop drinking. And that’s a legal substance. Jail might have kept her alive, but is it right to do that to someone?
