LL, I stopped without rehab!! Many people can and do...

I think instead of getting extra cash from DSP payments for drug addiction that money should go towards paying for rehab services.... infact how about they go into rehab and all of thier government payments go to help pay for thier treatment? 

 

SH-wonderland, I am all good now. I got help from a fantastic rehabilitation job network agency and when I got well again I found a great job .... my family helped my financially along with the regular newstart payments.... 

 

 

 


 most cant, good for you. the salvation army have a few places at a time, i've managed to get a few into their program over the years, the majority are left to their own devices.  benefits won't cover the cost of the private clinics.  kicking them off will only worsen the problem, it might even trash the few places the salvo's can offer.. i can't see it helping.
