The impression given by 'celebrities' that one can check into rehab. at a moment's notice and everything will be sorted out is grossly misleading to young people. We all know the harm to the wider community through drug use is massive. If money was spent now on preventing drugs entering the country, dealing with drugs already in the country and manufactured here and, maybe most importantly, on the causes of addiction (which is evidently more than just through exposure to them) there could be hope for the future.
