        IVC's don't necessarily work for people with mental health issues, I don't see it working for people with substance use issues any better.

        What about the CEOs and other top dawgs in Big Pharma will they suffer for their crimes or just get to buy another yacht?

        Still blaming and punishing the victims. How about we involuntarily commit over-prescribing doctors, and Big Pharma execs?

        As someone who was in the AD Army and worked on an inpatient ward who had 98% of patients involuntary 'committed' this is ignorant.

        This is a great idea and will really help families and addicts who are feeling hopeless and powerless.

        Treating, investigating and resolving, the cause of pain, would be a better option. People take pain medication to combat unresolved pain.
