Depends on the country for the usefulness of rehab yo, but as 90% of the people i meet online are from the USA i'm going to assume you're from the USA in which case: yes literally 100% of your healthcare is a cash grab, rehab included.
As for the negative effects of drugs - drugs is the field i work in. Technically, the education side, i teach in high schools about drugs & harm reduction, but as a part of that I get very real observations of the lives of drug addicts & recovered additcs so i'm able to teach...
One of the most heartbreaking things i ever heard working with a group of about 20 recovered drug addicts-
<talking about intentional/unintentional abuse> "I mean i didn't intentionally abuse my child" (abuse coming from how they acted while under the influence & addicted)"none of us did it intentionally but we all did it"...
Addiction ruins peoples lives; makes them homeless from cash spent on their particular addiction, makes them family-less since no one wants to be around addicts, gives people bad health from lack of self care as time is devoted towards their addiction rather than care, and in the worst case- serious physical/mental illnesses. Like i know people who've been through all of this- in the group of recovered addicts i work with on education projects, they ALL have stories with one or all elements of this.
If we're talking not addiction, i'd agree- not wholly, of course, in my town alone 6 people died in the month of august on the first time taking drugs because they took NPS...
But largely yes. Of course, if I were to encourage first time drug taking i'd be encouraging addiction because of the nature of drugs...gateway drugs + various factors of addiction...
Is it normal to think sobriety and rehab are BS?
