This will only make things worse
 

As a recovering addict I can personally tell you that if I had been forced out of my treatment like this I would be dead. You are only exacerbating the drug and overdose problem by doing this. Did no one there bother to ask a professional addiction doctor or counselor about this before it was voted on? Maybe you should go to the SAMSHA webpage and do some research...
