I wish this would spread through all the prisons. I had someone very close to me who was sentenced to prison and there was NO therapy. He had to kick the habit all on his own.</p> I am glad to hear there is something now in effect. I wish this would spread through all the prisons.

Many people end up committing crimes solely in pursuit of their addiction. It gives inmates a chance to truley change their lives by having a change on the inside.</p> I think it is a wonderful solution to offer drug and alcohol programs in jails and prisons.

I think it has been very helpful to him, as welll as introducing him to 12-step recovery. It gave him hope while in prison, and motivation to continue that process on the outside. He has not always stayed sober, but each time the length of sobriety was a little longer. Thus far, since his last incarceration, he had 11 months clean one day at a time! It always works if you work it, wherever you are!</p> In my son’s journey through addiction and into recovery, he has had multiple opportunities to participate in Drug and alcohol treatment.

The majority of those incarcerated cannot afford to attend a treatment facility, or afford health insurance. I think allowing access to help instead of just punishment will continue to increase the success rate of those released.</p> I strongly beleive in offering programs to help drug addicts and alcoholics within the prison systems.
