Question by alani s: Would you consider addiction treatment as one of the ways by which we can foster a healthy society?
I want to get your opinions. How can addiction treatment benefit society as a whole and not just the patient? I’m planning on doing a paper on this to get extra credit for a class of mine. I just want to see what other people think. Thanks.

Yes. Addiction treatment is definitely good for our society. Addiction treatment gets to benefit society because for every addict that gets treated, there’s one individual brought back to sobriety, to productivity. Researches show that drug addicts are more likely to get affected and spread diseases such as HIV and AIDS. They are also more likely to showcase violent behavior. These can be avoided if they undergo addiction treatment, which is also for the betterment of society.
