The war on Drugs has Failed

There were many reports from the gathering of thousands of scientists, physicians and activists in the United Nations (18th International AIDS Conference) who are in the forefront of the fight against HIV and AIDS pandemic around the world.

One such report showed how the HIV epidemic is unhindered among some populations of drug users. Presented with this evidence can anybody deny the importance of drug and alcohol treatment?

It is not hard to argue that successful drug treatment is beneficial to the individual addict by giving their life back and it is beneficial to the society as a whole by preventing epidemics such as HIV infections.

HIV infection among heroin users in Eastern Europe has in fact become an epidemic. Injecting illegal drugs is the primary cause of about 1 in 3 new HIV infections outside sub-Saharan Africa. Knowing that in some parts of Eastern Europe and Central Asia, the infection rate of those who inject illicit drugs is as high as 70% can easily expose the magnitude of the problem from drug addiction that we in America can face too.

Writing in the medical journal the Lancet, where the Vienna Declaration was also published, Michel Sidibe, the executive director of the Joint United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) and other prominent scientific leaders stated the situation succinctly: "The war on drugs has failed."

If this is the fact, then drug treatment centers in the United States have become the last hope in confronting the drug addiction problem.

Considering the number of drug or alcohol addiction facilities in US, it is important to find one that can deliver the promise, namely, saving the individual addict, and by extension the society, from the evils of drug addiction and its consequences.

If there is any doubt about the evils of drug addiction and its consequences, one need to look no further than the country of Mexico. In drug related crime inflicted northern parts of Mexico, the drug addiction, and one might say, the lack of success in drug addiction treatment has brought the society to the brink of destruction. To eliminate murder, corruption and other ills associated with drug addiction, one can say, provide effective drug treatment. There are centers with effective drug addiction treatment all over United States. One such facility is Cove Center for Recovery, a place for addiction treatment, a place for physical and emotional healing.
