Are We Helping People with Addictions or Just Prolonging Their Misery?

The County of Haliburton recently received a federal grant of $1.2 million to provide support to people in our community who are addicted to hard, often dangerous drugs. The money will be used to purchase a van and to hire support workers to "meet people where they are" with counseling and items like clean needles to make drug use less dangerous. But with these programs having a 1% success rate in getting people into drug rehabilitation programs, according to our guest, are we solving a problem or just feeding it? Is it kind and respectful to let addicts continue without judgment or forcing treatment, or is it cruel to let people who lack self control - that's what addiction is - harm themselves in potentially life-threatening ways? Bram and Lisa speak with guest Mike Slatter, Chief of EMS Services for Haliburton County about the new program and how we can get a grip on drug addiction in our communities.
