>> We already have drug courts and treatment programs ... I think some drug courts are good starting points for treatment but most don't finish the job. The problem is that we, as a society, see drug addiction as bad behavior instead of a treatable illness. And instead of providing treatment for the illness, we incarcerate people for bad behavior. This represents a fundamental misunderstanding of what the problem is. And many politicians -- left and right -- are so dug into their positions that they are unwilling to learn the facts. So, change is very slow in coming. It is a huge problem. Probably a trillion or more dollars over 10 years.
