Before the aggravated battery charge he had been trying to find a long term treatment facility to get into. Can we now ask the courts to mandate treatment to a long term facility-and if they do can that be treated as a type of probation. He is agreeable to treatment and as I said was already exploring his options.
He just got a public defender appointed and we will be talking to that person.

FYI- The other person came after my son with the bat first- they got into a fight and he ended up hitting the other guy with the bat. The other person is also up on charges. Witnesses have verified this.
Tina- You missed the part where I said that he had already been in touch with several facilities on his own before this happened. So he was seeking help. He had applied to several and was awaiting word on admittance.
JE– How dare you accuse me of not being there for my son. I have 4 other children who are honor students and model citizens-I have been through enough counseling already to get me out of the mindset of blaming myself.

drug and alcohol rehab program

We lock up the cocaine and heroin addicts among others with the murderers and rapists. Rather than giving these non-violent drug offenders treatment in rehab, we treat them on the same par as a serial rapist. Do you think this is wrong? Why or why not?

Also, consider this before answering. What if we all woke up one day and tobacco and cigarettes were outlawed? And all those addicted to them had to buy them from dealers on the black market. Then all those who smoked to feed their addiction were thrown in prison for years rather than be treated to get rid of their addiction. Would THAT be okay?
Well, How it is, let’s add to this. Is it also right to imprison them for putting a substance into their OWN bodies without harming anyone else? Why or why not?
Blas: The cigarette scenario is an example. Tobacco is a drug, but what if was treated the same? How would you feel then? Of course it’s not going to become illegal. There’s too much money in the industry.

As for rehab costing money. What if instead of the yearly $45,000 put towards keeping said addict in jail was instead put towards cleaning him up in rehab?
Blas, you would rather these people you know who have died from addiction rot in prison where drugs are potentially available, then be sent for treatment in rehab. Addiction isn’t as easy as “I don’t want to quit”, or “I don’t feel like it.” People struggle long and hard with it, and often can’t beat it. As you said, rehab costs money. But if it was paid for by the government we could have so many more functioning members of society who have beaten their addiction, rather than inmates who are likely to use again after getting out of prison, or even while in prison. Wouldn’t you rather your money go towards helping these people clean up their lives than leaving them to sit in a prison cell?

I was wondering how to go about finding a good live in treatment program for my 21 year old son, he resides in Solano County, Ca. He has no medical coverage, he wants help. The courts are not helping him find a program, Can anyone help please or does anyone know of a program that is located in Rancho Cordova, I forgot the name of the program it consists of a neighborhood with several houses. But anywhere would help. I believe he is at his bottom, No medical coverage.

The person went to court and he told the court he was in a drug program in jail and now they are waiting for the person to complete the program. They actually enhanced it now to a class X and the lawyer said he may be able to get out and get into a outpatient treatment program or 2-3 years what do you think will happen?
