National Institute of Drug Abuse released a press release recently saying that there are lots of prisoners who don’t get proper drug abuse treatment.
It said that there are many prisoners, who might do well if they are given proper drug abuse treatment, do not receive it.
NIDA has spent two decades on researching this poor state of prisoners and the ineffective criminal justice system against drug abuse.
According to the report, about half of the prisoners are dependent on drugs but only less then 20 percent of them gets proper treatment. Incorporating the treatment of drug abuse into the criminal justice system helps people not to fall prey of diseases like HIV, hepatitis C, and even negative effects on social behavior and family.
This also helps people to stay away from crime and from getting imprisoned again for some offence they have committed in the influence of drugs (it is estimated that most of the crimes are done under the influence of drugs).
