Frustrated with addiction

I have become increasingly frustrated with the way that this country treats its drug addicts. I have lost several friends because of addiction (think opiates for most of them) and I would like to believe that we are one of the few ‘supposedly civilized’ countries that actually does very little to help people who struggle with dependence.

I do not think that locking someone up and throwing away the key is the answer. Sure, they might be sober (if they cannot get stuff there) but they will never learn how to resist the temptation or how to deal with stress. Sorry if this comes across as a rant, just highly frustrated because I just spent another few hundred bucks on a friend who is never going to pay it back.
