I read an article earlier today about Pastor Gloria Kieler, a 65-year-old woman who has dedicated all her time and resources to helping people get off drugs. She’s been waiting for seven years for the promised government funding, and says that the money is going to a safe-injection site for heroin addicts instead of to heroin detox and other drug detox and rehab facilities that can actually end addiction.

Safe injection sites aren’t there to end heroin addiction, only a good heroin detox and rehab can do that. Gloria Kieler said it best, “”Do we keep alcoholics on booze? Smokers on tobacco? Of course not, so why do they think supplying free drugs to addicts is the answer?”

Good question, Gloria.

If you are suffering from heroin addiction or know someone who is, don’t be taken in by the idea of making it a little bit better – there’s really no such thing. You’re either addicted, or you’re not. Don’t think the problems will end with anything less than a heroin detox and drug rehab. They are the only real solutions to heroin addiction.
