Why dont we just cage all heroin addicts from the get-go?

Answers:
spoken just like a true hitler pupil. good job. lets just imprison them yeah f*** treatment...might as-well 'off' them right?...that's a good final solution. - - - outspoken people who don't think things through are the worst form of life...
i have had friends go though treatment and make it... drugs ruin lives but then again --so does ignorance and hatred.
i wouldn't wish a heroin addiction on anyone...it's hell to watch someone go through that. how anyone can break through it is beyond me
I am not an addict but that does not make me any better than anyone else. I do not feel that anyone begins by starting and wanting to be an addict. We do not know anyones circumstances. Therefor we do not know what may lead a person to start. There are some circumstances where some are forced to start and/or even influenced by their own parents or other family. Either way I think the idea is to support those who need and want help and not to give up on anyone for any reason whether it be for heroine or any addiction. This would be like asking why don't we as a society stop caring about those with no feelings for other human beings and don't care (uh hum)? I can't even word it as you have. People do get clean and not all of them end up in jail...PLEASE...enough said!
Addiction is a horrible thing but the people suffering from their addictions shouldn't be ridiculed like that. People try drugs for many reasons and usually its because they are already suffering mentally or thats all they have ever known.
You sound like someone close to you is an addict. It is hard to deal with it. They affect everyone around them but they claim they are hurting no one but themselves. That is not true. I know what you are going through and the only thing you can do is refuse to let them take you down. You must be strong and love yourself. Let them destroy theirself if they are hell bent on that. Get as far away from them as possible. Honey...God created all of us to be a living free mortal agent. He doesn't force anything on us. He loves us enough that if we want to sit there and OD on heroine...or whatever...He gives us that choice. You must let that person alone and love yourself enough to put your foot down and say...no more! Let them have nothing...by theirself!
You may email me or send me a message on yahoo...chandrabali_dutta@yaho... if you need someone to talk to.
I have never tried heroin so I really dont know, but I have heard that it makes you feel the same way you feel when your in LOVE.
Who doesn't enjoy being in love? I do. But I'm still too afraid to try heroin, I might like it too much, and that scares me.
Have you ever met or known a heroin addict personally? I rather say the people who sell the drugs are the worse. Heroin addiction is an inevitable death sentence if you can't break free from it, and the drugs they use to detox you are sometimes even worse than the heroin itself.
Perhaps this makes me seem soft but I would never wish such a thing on anyone. It in itself is punishment and slow self-destruction.
Dear Jackie:
Have you had some negative personal experience with a heroin addict? It's really good that you have the resolve to never try it. That is very logical. Addiction isn't.
Depending on where you grow up, in what circumstances, with what sort of family, you might not hear strictly negative messages about heroin or other drugs, such as alcohol. Some folks have friends and relatives who seem to function pretty well, even while addicted to heroin. Many people who become addicted are introduced to drugs by close friends, boy friends or girlfriends, family members-even mothers and fathers. Fact is, this is a powerful drug that has a great appeal, due to the fact that is can bring a lot of immediate pleasure to the user. this is not to day that it is a good thing to do, not by any means, but consider that most people who come to use heroin begin with other readily available drugs like alcohol, marijuana, prescription drugs. People often "ease into" addiction, beginning slowly and managing fairly well, and then finding themselves out of control and using compulsively. This is not a planned thing, most people who start using any form of drug (nicotine and alcohol included) don't believe they will become addicted, and no one I know ever woke up and said" I want to be a heroin addict!".Most want desperately to stop, but this is the most powerfully physically addictive drug, and the withdrawal symptoms are severe.
Heroin addicts actually respond well to treatment, but getting off drugs is a complicated thing; relapse does happen, in fact that is one of the features of this addiction. It does take some people several rounds in treatment, which is usually 28 days or more in an in-patient setting.
Jackie, people who become addicts are not different from you or me, they are people whose life circumstances may be very different, and who have certainly made some different choices. Many people who are addicted to heroin and other drugs are professionals- doctors, lawyers, nurses, teachers politicians. Not every addict fits the "street" addict profile. Most people who become addicted are trying to cope with life's problems, but in a way that as you point out, invariably brings more problems. Locking people up won't help, and it seems you already know that it is way too expensive. And, being addicted is not a crime. What helps people with addictions get back on track is having support from loved ones and professionals. Addicts hate themselves even more than you apparently do, they really don't benefit from punishment or hatred. Please consider the corrosive power of hatred on your own heart. Go to a Narcotics Anonymous meeting to hear from addicts struggling to overcome addiction and rebuild their lives. You will be surprised at how kind and welcoming they will be. You will be surprised that you will meet some really nice people. You may come away saying "there but for the grace of God go I". Try to open your heart, have compassion for people who are going through something as unfathomable as this struggle with addiction. It will make you a stronger person and will give you a clearer understanding of a very complex issue.
peace out,

Dude, I honestly hope hope you're trolling. Cuz, otherwise, you're sick. Like in, "mentally ill" sick, I don't think you have the flu or anything.
And besides, how old are you, fifteen?
People have issues. People suffer. People cry. And we all try to cope with it and everyone else's as best as we can.
And anyways, the guy who mugged you was probably on crack, heroin addicts are usually too much of a ****-up to be able to mug a wet paper bag.
And, just to rattle your cage, you always do what you're told? Or is it maybe that you are the TruthMaster, and you immediately know all you need to know about something you obviously don't have the ******* slightest based on three moronic comments from your suburban dad?
Parents tell you that drugs are bad because they are scared shitless of what they might take you to, but this is also part of the problem.
If we admitted to our kids that drugs feel GOOD, so damn so, in fact, that they'll be willing to forsake food, sex, relationships, friendships, and jobs for them, then they might listen to the rest of what we are saying. Otherwise, as soon as they see this as just another "grown-up lie", we've lost them, and we can only hope that they make it out on their own.
Hope you can die as ignorant as you are today, and that you'll never understand the word drugADDICT, just like you don't ... right now.
Oh, and have a nice day.
