How To Get Rid Of Opiate Addiction

Remember Portugal? A very long time, ships left from there to explore the Americas and stuff.

In the late 1990’s, about one percent of their population was addicted to opioids. They had all kinds of criminal type drug programs, and at least as bad a drug program as America could imagine in its worst nightmares.

As far as I can figure out, and this has been reported in many places, the head of government got together with the head of the opposing part. They asked people what they thought of this mess, including psychiatrists, social workers, and judges.

They decriminalized all substance abuse. Instead of sending drug violations through the judiciary system, they were put into treatment systems.

Now, after 15 years of implementation, even former skeptics are admitting that it has worked.

Similar programs have worked in other European countries, but this is perhaps the most dramatic success of such a program.

It is pretty hard to miss that such a program is diametrically opposed to an American agenda, which seems to believe that the answer to the drug problem is stricter enforcement of the law.  And nobody can deny that “The War On Drugs” has made the problem worse.
