They are reviled by the "experts" and consequently had their funding stopped by the Welsh Assembly.<BR/>It's not that they use an appeal to a higher power (as does the AA), I'm as much against proselitysing vulnerable people as the next man. The problem is that their tough love works. They don't deal with a person's addiction to heroin by making him addicted to methadone. They get them clean and instil a discipline and a routine that keeps a significant percentage clean. Yes it costs, yes it flies in the face of expert opinion, yes it's controversial, and YES it works.<BR/>I suspect that deep down, the powers-that-be want us all drugged and subdued. They pay lip service to rehab etc but make sure that the system is so bad it's doomed to fail. They can always say they're doing what they can, but their long term aim is to have us all drugged, gagged, subdued and compliant, so that they can get on with their nefarious schemes without interference.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00448711775318691029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8149296713213520917.post-47596657296737388462008-02-27T11:34:00.000+00:002008-02-27T11:34:00.000+00:00LFAT,What worries me is that the government don't ...LFAT,<BR/><BR/>What worries me is that the government don't see a problem with this.

They have to be broken of their reliance on the drug, not given a chance to mix with other addicts to swop details of suppliers and resupply routes; I bet these rehabilitation courses are as weak as water.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
