        No, because if an addict isn't ready for help, it won't work. Can't stay sober for family & friends.

        Probably not. You can't receive help if you're not ready for it. #opioidcrisis

        It took me 16 years to get clean! It was very hard to do and now am 1 year clean. It's hard to do by yourself. People need help to do it.

        Another tiny band aid on a huge, multi-faceted problem. Not healing, just covering up and keeping safe for a short time. Not the answer.

        Nope...if people aren't ready to get help, then they're not ready, you can't force them. Just a recovering addicts opinion though

        Hell no! Locking them up is temporary and doesn't address WHY they've turned to opiates in the first place.

        It is. You are completely deprived of your rights. And just like prison, it doesn't fix the problem.
