Ha. There is plenty more to do. I will pound the table over and over until someone is ready to listen...12 step programs...for the addict, for the family of the addict...therapists that are CASAC trained. No more rehabs. Open meetings in frum places. Do not allow any non-CASAC trained therapists to work in our community mental health organizations.

What’s the issue with rehabs?

Useless waste of money. They dont work. As soon as theyre done there is no follow up. Read the article. Its a good jumpstart if there is a plan for continuous recovery. But just rehab and then winging it, like most are doing, is a colossal waste of time, money and hope. If there is no accountability by the addict after rehab and no awareness of what to look for in behaviors of the addict by the families its a waste.

This thread has become morose. Instead of all the hand wringing what action(s) can we take to stop this?

Great question, perhaps someone has some ideas?

It sounds like we have a passionate and knowledgable expert that already knows what to do.
However, this expert still hasn't taken action, and believes

we should buy a bigger rug to sweep things under.

Are you in the rug business by any chance?

None.
No action necessary...open-mindedness necessary.
How ever did you guess? Can i interest you in a Persian rug.

Sad that all we can get is snark.

My point is simple - if the people most passionate and knowledgable aren't going to take action on this issue, then don't expect anything more than the status quo. If awareness is the big thing, run around and do whatever it takes to make people aware instead of complaining about it in a forum. IMHO being knowledgable and not taking action is sweeping it under the rug.

Are you questioning the action I take? Do you know me? Do you know what I do or have done? I dont advertise what I do. Neither does anyone else who does. I have never advocated just awareness. I complain from a place of action, not inaction.

I didn't know that you are involved as your post seems to show otherwise. But thanks for taking action.
Maybe it should be advertised what you and others do, and with awareness others will get involved?

I think that both awareness without action or action without awareness will not solve the issue.

Odds are good you do, but you don't know it. If not drugs, some other addiction.

Where is your circle? Ripley believe it or not?
Are you trying to say the majority of marijuana users go on to harder drugs?

Im not trying to say anything you would comprehend. You are free to comment on things you know. This is something you know nothing about...i.e. drug use in the religious Jewish community.

The community has nothing to do if a drug is a gateway drug or not. If kids are going from pot to heroin in the Jewish community the problem is not pot. Spend your time and resources address the root of the problem not chasing a rabbit down a hole.
