You cant put blame elsewhere because weve seen people with jobs , families, non prison, wealthy and educated go down with addiction .
Weve seen people lose to addiction and people rise. Even people who are poor abused etc quit and get help. However I do agree that he should in no way whatso ever have been living at home. There should be a BETTER way to educate, and rehabilitate rather than putting the treatment center as the families responsibility.we are all here because we know that is NOT how treatment works. It upsets me to no end that they put that on you as the "best" option
.they should have mandatory classes in prison taught by guards lol
Even about the simplistics of life. Living and Opportunity.
Theres a much better way ..that the number of re offenders could be cut down.
