  • Out in the cold and dependent on drugs. Britain's second city, Birmingham, is facing a twin crisis: high levels of homelessness and drug use. The city's mayor is trying a new strategy, getting people back into housing, before tackling their drug problem. Meanwhile outreach workers are trying to create safe areas, called drug consumption rooms, which have already proved a huge success in Europe.

      Nonsense, what help is there for you if you don't even have a roof over your head? Fighting those addictions is an incredibly difficult feat at the best of times but expecting people to do that when they are also at the same time dealing with the nightmare of being homeless, and possibly mental health issues what kind of superhuman strength would that take? So easy for you to sit back in your armchair and judge.

      ​@@linsqopiring6816 it is very difficult. Drugs have consumed almost every nation. So sad. Unfortunately I think only solution is to gave massive education drive again like the 90s like DARE. The best way to stop addiction is not start. Kids needs to be educated on what to do for specific issues other then fall for drugs. Dismiss friends who pressure us to "try", problem solving methodologies and overall one time use can lead to horrible consequences.

      I was homeless on and off for 22 years but never took any drugs. I used to save my money to buy decent outdoor gear like plenty of warm clothing and a thick warm sleeping bag and a tent. I used to sleep in woodland in a tent a few miles out of town as it was safer and quieter then. Then used cycle into town during the daytime.

      Many homeless people take drugs. They also have a much higher chance of being addicts. But also, being homeless is very hard, and very depressing. Why blame them for trying to blunt their pain? Why blame them for being in that situation at all? Maybe in a world where empty houses that are being held as an investment are lived in instead, or where we had decent mental health care, there wouldn't be homelessness at all? We can take a similar attitude towards a lot of drug use in fact. For example, the opioid crisis in the U.S., much of it is in midwestern states, where people are desperately poor, have no prospects, no support from the state, and honestly live in misery. No wonder they want to escape however they can. No wonder they take drugs. Might the need that people seem to have to get away from themselves and get away from the world be a problem not with how they choose to get away from the world but the world itself? Communism. You solve the problem with communism.
      On the whole, I think drugs are neutral. They're not inherently good or bad. They're made good or bad by the contexts in which they're taken. The world is made up of material. You can't point to an atom and tell me where its ethical qualities are stored, all ethical norms are relational, which isn't necessarily the same as crude relativism. If you legalize drugs, drugs do less harm.

    I really think the secret to avoiding drug addiction is to just resign oneself to how horrible life really is. Acceptance, that is the key. I, for example, had terribly abusive parents and ended up very poor and extremely ill and in a wheelchair. I will likely die alone in a county nursing home as well. I thought about drugs once or twice to escape the mental anguish but I'm just too much of a realist. I have never expected anything good in life and I never got anything good. That sounds horrible but I feel it saved me from addiction. People become destroyed when their expectations are high or even middle of the road and those dreams get crushed. From the time I was 3, I knew life was a hopeless cesspool....and then you die, so truly comprehending that reality saved me from an even uglier fate.

      I believe I know your city. Huge heroin problem even 20+ years ago when I used to drive up. Great town, though. The solution has to be involuntary rehab via the criminal justice system (court-ordered/secured facilities) followed by monitored treatment with a med like Suboxone plus sober living, 12-step, etc. I hear you on the mental institutions for some, but down in the US, Reagan defunded those nearly 40 years ago so the timeline doesn't match up. I wonder if Canada would be more likely to have one centralized system. Good luck down here. I'm getting encampments removed right and left around my home and my County is rather lost on the remedy: the homeless just relocate and move back. I think we need a federal approach.

      ​@@badbob9nine282 he has a point. Government can't put addicts anywhere. Most society's don't want addicts living next door to kids and families, it's complicated situation.

    I think it's not only a personal fault. It's only partly personal choice, but it's mostly a governmental problem and mostly their fault.
    People, who never had any housing since the very birth - how are they supposed to grow up properly and in a healthy and stable environment?
    At the very least, government COULD TRULY help those homeless who ARE NOT DRUG USERS and are NOT CRIMINALS - at least a quarter of them(or maybe even a third) are normal and simply low income people! That's horrible and brutal to not help those people - and yet they are ignored!
    Personally, I believe providing permanent version of built-in birth control to all people would be a great solution. And the only way to activate fertility/ability to birth people would be upon coming to a free public facility designed for that purpose with free and easy access for all people. And then they could also make certain criteria, such as criminal lifestyle or homelessness, as a valid reason to probibit activating ferlitity(turning off build-in birth control) for the sake of humanity and public good.
    We have to understand that biology does not care about good living or good health, it is designed to make us overeat fatty junk food and f**k whenever we can. We cannot overdrive those genetic urges naturally in the hostile and especially homeless environment. We are not gods. We are just another mammal running on this planet earth. And we are lucky to have big enough brains to create technology, design airplanes, rockets and nuclear bombs. But we don't have a simple brain capacity to resolve and prevent inhumane living conditions for our own species😢. You have no idea how many mentally unstable and homeless people get pregnant again and again with no restraint. And nothing is done about it! 😮

    housing then rehab, No this does not work either. the drugs on the street no matter what city or country, are way more addictive than the ones just a decade ago, 50-75-100% stronger. 90 times out of 100 they will choose drugs over rehab even if they are housed, where live in canada my city has spend millions over the past decade on homeless and addictions, but it barely made a scratch and the resent temp shelters that went up last year quickly turned into flop houses for drug activity and stolden property, the only thing left that might work may not be favorable but a last ditch effort, (institutionalize them)they refuse treatment, use shelters as drug havens and keep overdosing over and over again they are a danger to them selves and other and need to be put away!!!!!

    Housing definitely. If you're on the street and it cold environment not eating right sleeping where do you go to go through the withdrawal? If you have a home where you can feed yourself shelter yourself from the environment and a place to go through withdrawal I think you might be a little bit more successful. And it's kind of hard to quit drugs if your homeless and the spots and people you are spending time with are likely to be drug addicts to I think it's going to make it a lot harder on a person to give up drugs. Not everybody homeless is a drug addict but it plays a big part of it. And they still deserve services Healthcare regardless if they're addicted or not.

      No. They had housing initially which was lost to drugs. I work with homeless, being housed doesn't solve it for them. A lot of the ones you see on the corner do have a place to stay. Many refuse housing because they don't like the rules, won't take meds or quit using and assault or terrify other guests or staff, they tried a housing first model here in Seattle and it didn't work. They need longer involuntary commitments, expand the state hospitals again and court order community housing which is monitored. Sorry. Maybe after 2 successful years they can go back to full society.

    They need stability and routine. So really they need a place to call home and be comfortable, and a constant supply of their drugs. Then work can be done to make the changes needed to become clean. Not going to happen because of the money needed.

      Many homeless people take drugs. They also have a much higher chance of being addicts. But also, being homeless is very hard, and very depressing. Why blame them for trying to blunt their pain? Why blame them for being in that situation at all? Maybe in a world where empty houses that are being held as an investment are lived in instead, or where we had decent mental health care, there wouldn't be homelessness at all? We can take a similar attitude towards a lot of drug use in fact. For example, the opioid crisis in the U.S., much of it is in midwestern states, where people are desperately poor, have no prospects, no support from the state, and honestly live in misery. No wonder they want to escape however they can. No wonder they take drugs. Might the need that people seem to have to get away from themselves and get away from the world be a problem not with how they choose to get away from the world but the world itself? Communism. You solve the problem with communism.
      On the whole, I think drugs are neutral. They're not inherently good or bad. They're made good or bad by the contexts in which they're taken. The world is made up of material. You can't point to an atom and tell me where its ethical qualities are stored, all ethical norms are relational, which isn't necessarily the same as crude relativism. If you legalize drugs, drugs do less harm.
