Hillary had a series of tweets Sun re addiction and need to invest in treatment & prison reform

I remember at the beginning of her campaign, while in NH she had a forum on these topics. But the email crap took over the news media and her proposal are in the dustbin. Glad she is reminding folks. Wish her camp would write a few editorials.

It’s time we recognize that we have a drug and alcohol addiction epidemic on our hands—and act to address it. http://hrc.io/1ExjjrP

Our prisons—where 2/3 inmates meet criteria for substance use disorders—are no substitute for treatment. We must reform our justice system.

Our health care system allows too many people with substance use disorders to go without care. We need to invest in treatment.

23 million Americans suffer from addiction, but only 1 in 10 get the treatment they need.

1. I am glad she is bringing this back up.

This is a pro-child, pro-family issue that needs to be addressed nationally. Much of the child and spousal, even elder, abuse and/or neglect is due to substance use, and that is something than can be treated. "23 million Americans suffer from addiction, but only 1 in 10 get the treatment they need."
