apart from the enforcement arm which is the CNB, you have the
Drug Rehab Centres..
the DRCs do not only detain people.. the addicts are treated to
kick the habit, assessed for employment, training and all
that...
most of all, they learn that they are responsible for their
actions.. for breaking the law, they are detained...
simply, they are treated like responsible adults.. they have
committed an offence and there must be a price to pay... they will
have to pay it..
finally, when they are done with their time, they will be
assisted through the Yellow Ribbon Project and a crapload of
halfway houses... the halfway houses are where they are given
counselling (again) and all kinds of support if they need..
you can't save the world, but you can save those who want to be
saved..
and those who do not want to be saved, goodness knows you can
only do that much and if they still refuse, there's intervention..
and not much else after..
like real...
sad to say, it is a
fact that the CNB, or DRC is dammed useless/hopeless. I have deal
with them before and I know that it is just waste of time and
effort. It is not really as advertised, very
different...
Basically, these drug
abusers are extermely depressed, low moral and sensitive, stubborn
and stupid people. when talking to them, a little bad word, can
really upset them really badly (off the scale of tolerance). They
took up drug because they really want to hide themselves from
reality and hide from the real world.
When they are left
alone, they will fear, and feel absolute emptiness and loneliness.
it frighten them.
It is really hard to
deal with them. The more you threaten them, the more upset they
are. The more they are stress, they more they want to escape the
real world. So try to encourage him instead, tell him the good
thing, please him.
Tell him that your wife
love you.
Tell him cigarettes is
better, cheap, illegal and really available. The nicotine effect is
still there also.
Try not to displease
them, make them feel unwanted, and useless. convince them that they
are useful and need in the family.
The drug addiction can
be easy solved by a gradual reduction of dosage over a period of
time. Or alternative sedative drugs such as cigarettes, panadol,
codeine, caffeine, Diazepam are useful
replacement.
Mental healing takes a long time to heal. Good luck!
