This proposed facility won't be equipped to handle anyone who has used meth recently.
Alcohol and opiates will be their wheelhouse. Limited medical treatment, limited psych support. Not equipped for meth and benzos, which are the real huge problems in our province right now, the ones causing the largest social harms per user. You need specialized care to deal with that. This facility will be useful, but shouldn't be government sponsored.
