No it won’t but it’s a step in the right direction. These people are human beings and they have a right to be clothed sheltered and fed. We need to open FREE rehabilitation centers that will keep addicts for more than 10 days. 10 days is barely enough time to get over the detox sometimes it can take even longer than that for people to fully detox, once a person is fully detoxed that’s when therapy comes into play and the rebuilding of one’s self to become a better person and relearn how to take care of themselves physically,mentally and spiritually.

I just wanna say to anyone that's struggling with addiction to please get help, there is hope, please don't give up on life. You are somebody! I say this with a heavy heart, to anyone that's struggling with addiction or anything in life, take one second to look in the mirror and tell yourself I'm willing to fight for a second chance. Until next time I love and wish the best for all that's willing to fight for redemption. Much love to all! God bless

Even if OP does know the exact drug (and it is unclear that she even would), it is pretty irrelevant. Virtually any substance that can induce respiratory depression (most certainly including a ‘horse tranquilizer’) can cause hypoxia and lead to irreversible brain damage. It is unlikely the drug itself directly caused that level of damage.

Being from the rut town of Philly, and coming from generational drug addiction, and overcoming hard core drug use,, I am thankful to the Almighty I made it out alive and with a semblance of a whole mind. I've seen this for years, have many family members that succumbed to this epidemic, including my mother, father, closest aunt, 1 st cousin, several old friends and I have some walking dead and very damaged living family members. The depth and reach of this wicked scourge can not be understated. I had to leave Philly in the early 2000's or I may not have been here today. That part of town has been bad since I can remember, and when I go visit family in NE, its much worse now, its EVERYWHERE.

My life experience is, that an addict always will stay an addict. If one is able to kick one habit, it`s just a addiction delayed. An addict will always stay vulnerable, easy to seduce and more likely to relapse, maybe with another drug or extremly bad behaviour. In the long run it`s almost impossible to live a normal life. So better never start using drugs.

Well good thing your life is very sheltered and your experience limited then. Because many, many addicts still live a “normal” life. Not only that, but are successful. Wes Watson is an extreme example. Former addict turned multi millionaire. I’m a more average example. Was an addict using drugs until 24. Now at 40, I make over 6 figures a year and have a good life. You think the few hundred addicts living on the street is an example of “addiction”? Those are the super extreme cases. Most addicts are “functioning”. They have a house, a job, kids, etc. And live a “normal” life. What you consider “vulnerable” actually can be an asset. Many addicts funnel their “addiction” into a healthy behaviour. Exercise, a job, a hobby, a career, a passion, and are able to excel to a massive degree, due to their dedication to that thing Additionally, there’s plenty, plenty of people who aren’t drug addicts that still live lives that are far from “normal” and struggle to get by in life

@Øffgridglass very well said, and congrats brother, I wish you all the best and hope you can continue to succeed and feel fulfilled. And you’re absolutely right. For many addicts, it comes to a point where they are ready for change. They can’t live that way anymore. The pain of changing for the better, becomes easier than the pain of staying the same. But the great thing can be that they / we take the hard lessons learned through that life and apply it to our future When I quit abusing drugs at 24, it still took me until 30/31 before I was really “successful” and doing well. But the point is, it can be and is done by people all the time

u really want to know u should research how opioid addiction snowballs. its not that someone one day wakes up and decides to shoot up. or try fentanyl. its a daily progression that usually occurs as what appears to be the last resort to stay well. when someone is injured severely and put on strong opiates their brain chemistry changes. its a psychological and physical addiction. stronger than most any other thing. when that person stops taking the opiates their brain tells them they are dying. literally. and it feels like you are dying, physically. so they go score drugs. and when this happens and the pills arent available whether physically or monetarily they switch to heroin because its way cheaper and plenty more available. its a slow progression addiction. and unless u truly care to try to understand it you wont. its much easier to stay on the sidelines and judge.

The problem with stories like this is that every stake holder in the story has a motivation to exaggerate the problem. From the non profits who get the funding to the media who gets the hyped up story, the addict who gets the sympathy to the medical services, law enforcement and prosecution who is working to save humanity, you will never hear the complete truth. You will never hear a word that might minimize the issue in the least and, for that fact alone, you should be suspicious.

I have and agree with Yvonne plant. I have had friends and a cousin, steal money, and my work vehicle. They drove it to a city in southern jersey and sold basically all my tools, almost 30,000 to replace everything, not to mention the downtime my busniess experienced. I did get the vehicle back, as they were nice enough to bring the truck back. This was after paying for a 90-day treatment that this person finished and was staying in my house. Was in my house for an additional 3 months with no issues, I went away for a couple of days, and this is what i came home to.other two involved were sober for almost 3 years. This was the thanks I got. A sad reality is so few addicts want to clean up their act.

As you’re aware,the longer one uses,the longer the withdrawal period. Long ago,3 days off of H and I was good. Then,it took a week…nine days,something like that. Last time,after heavier use,took 30 days to get out of bed. That was just H and maybe,a little fent. Honestly,I can’t really say on this new tranq shit because I didn’t complete the withdrawal phase. All I know is that after I did score some of the more standard shit,it’s like the sickness just wouldn’t completely leave. A mere drop in the bucket,so to speak. It leaves you wanting more…chasing a completely different dragon,now.
