Today we are here to tell you that you can make a
difference in this drug epidemic thats ravaging
through the streets of San Diego, CA.
  • Heres a fact you may not know according to the
    Federal Bureau of Prisons 46.4 percent of the
    2,220,300 individuals incarcerated in the United
    States are serving time for drug offenses. And
    even more shockingly, it cost taxpayers 31,286
    annually to maintain one of these individuals in
    prison, many of whom have been sentenced to up to
    five years for less than 60 kg of heroin. The sad
    part is that some of these individuals are
    suffering from a disease that led them down this
    pathaddition!
  • Learning this you may think theres no other
    solution to deal with these minor drug offenders,
    however, thats simply not true. Addicts are
    incarcerated as often as drug dealers, but unlike
    the dealers they face a greater struggle
    relinquishing their relationship with the
    substance.
  • Instead of sentencing these individuals to five
    years in prison and fuelling a recurring cycle of
    drug abuse and imprisonment, a much better
    solution is to assist them with the help they
    need to overcome the addiction with proper
    treatment. Needless to say, there are numerous
    societal benefits of San Diego rehab treatment
    programs.

However, Its a Waste of Time and Resources
  • Many of you may think these individuals are not
    entitled to any help but thats not true. Were
    not talking about the drug lords who distribute
    drugs throughout small communities to live
    lavishly.

Were talking about the addict the person at
the bottom of the most powerless person who
believes theyre looking for a way to survive.
When things get tough, many of them will do
anything to get their next high. Many turn to
stealing and other crimes but for the most part,
they are mainly harming themselves and their
loved ones. Of Course this excludes them driving
while intoxicated and endangering the lives of
innocent motorists.

Don't Wait for the WorstAttack The Root Cause
Once there is no demand the suppliers will have
to take their goods elsewhere. While San Diego,
CA authorities are making an effort to reduce
the presence of illicit drugs on the streets,
its also makes sense that we spend some time
trying to reduce the demand for drugs. Individual
in drug rehabilitation centers are not able to
purchase drugs. This helps to reduce the demand
for the drugs and ultimately helps to make the
industry less lucrative. So, instead of
throwing them behind bars, lets rehabilitate
them!

How Can You Help?
As a family member of an addict, there is plenty
that you can do to save them from years of being
incarcerated. As with most societal woes, those
in need of treatment may not be in the position
to afford it, or may not even desire to seek
treatment. At the Boulevard Treatment Centers
in San Diego, CA we assist family members with
arranging interventions for people who are in
denial about their addiction and will also help
them to come up with the best solution to finance
treatment. If you have an addict in the family
dont leave them to suffer through their
addiction in the huge public detox box that is
the prison system. In most cases they will come
back on the streets and begin using the substance
again shortly after. Get them the help that they
need. Contact BLVD Treatment Centers at (888)
622-8330 to find out how we can assist you with
helping your loved ones get their lives back on
track.
