Congress has treated drug abuse as an afflicting mostly poor ordeal by locking people up for long periods of time. The amount of drug overdose deaths currently take over in white populations in cities and towns across the country. This tragic event has altered this line of thinking, and forced lawmakers to acknowledge that addiction is a problem. It is informed that no racial barriers can be best addressed with treatment due to what society thinks about when it comes to drugs.

 

I take a stance to say the realization that is driving the support in Washington for less intended drug policies has a good route to show these “druggies” what they are doing is wrong. Even though my immediate family doesn’t have a person like that every family is going to that one that ruins the mood for everybody.

The best practices for prescribing pain medications that would then be conveyed by doctors only. It would then authorize the attorney general to make grants to state and local governments, nonprofit agencies, and other entities to assist them on several fronts. As for treatments go, for defendants who meet certain criteria like being in prisons and juvenile detention facilities have more available the drug to have which reverses the effects of an overdose.  This now creates high-quality drug treatment programs that can establish places where people do have a way of getting medications and can safely dispose of them.
