Addiction is a complex health issue, recognized by medical and mental health organizations worldwide as a disease. People struggling with addiction need support, understanding, and access to appropriate treatment, not violence or punishment. Substance use disorders can be treated, and many individuals have successfully overcome addiction with the right help and resources.
Instead of advocating for harm, it is important to promote policies and practices that focus on prevention, education, and evidence-based treatment. Public health initiatives, access to mental health services, harm reduction strategies, and community support programs are some of the ways to address drug addiction and help those in need.
If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, I encourage seeking professional help from healthcare providers, addiction specialists, or support groups to find the appropriate resources and treatment options available. Everyone deserves a chance to recover and lead a healthy, fulfilling life.
