Kelly--- drugs

You are right about years ago. They were what I call the "normal" drugs. Weed, speed, a few downers and some beer. It was all in good weekend fun. But today is a far cry from any of those drugs. My son is an addict. Heroin and crack his choice of drugs. It destroys families and friends. And my heart goes out to you! Not seeing my son for the last 4 months hurts. But he runs because he is an addict and doesn't want to go to jail. Jail does nothing to help them. They need a lock down rehab in Butler where they spend their sentences for the doings of the addictions. It is the drug that makes them do the stupid things, they are addicts!! My son was a great kid, college bound and then it hit home. Shattered dreams, family members sticking by at first until he did something wrong to them. Now no one wants anything to do with him except his addict friends. Alot of parents are in the same situation and the Dr. rather then giving out needles (which I break) and alcohol pads should be trying to get something done in Butler. I applaud Judge McCune for trying to get a lock down rehab. It would be nice if he had help!!!!
