Addiction IS a mental health issue
Re; The story in the NT News, March 1st, "Mun desparate for sniffer son help"
This is a prime example of the inadequacy of the NT health department, and the "service" it provides.
According to the "authorities". - Those who work in the field of addiction through Alcoholics Anon., Narcotics Anon. and Gamblers Anon. Addiction IS a mental health issue.
It is an unfortunate consequence of our Government's immoral approach to the issues surrounding drug use within our society.
By demonising all involved, they persecute responsible users, victimise addicts and refuse to address drug abuse in a responsible way.
The demonisation and criminalisation of addicts allows the hospital staff to feel justified in ignoring people who are in desparate need of responsible health treatment.
