  1. “You don’t die from heroin detox. You don’t. You feel like you’re going to, but you don’t die.” That’s what Elaine was told when her son, Joe, was nearly kicked out of detox in 2012.

  2. I think it is dangerous territory for “Parity in Mental Health Treatment” , when we have voluntary and involuntary Mental Health Treatment.
    If the “doctor” decides who is ill based on the “patients” behaviour, and there is unlimited money , many people will be “helped”/jailed until they kiss the ass of the doctor in charge.
