[QUOTE]Originally posted by JeffKardde: [QB] Well, the laws that have passed offer the person a choice between incarciration or rehab. If the person fails a drug test at rehab -- off to prison! How effective is enforced incarciration? Not very. In some cases, sure, people are scared straight. Again (I don't have any numbers here), but I remember a Sociology class learning that a high percentage of incarcirees would return to jail after being released. So, IMHO, incarciration isn't that effective. Now, I assume the questions you ask are aimed at a person AFTER going through rehab? You've got to assume that some people will relapse ... not all, mind you -- and I don't know if anyone has any numbers? -- but doing this rehab thing is going to have to take into account the fact that certain people might go through it once or twice before it takes any effect. No, no twenty-four hour house guards or the like. Simple, effective, drug tests. They'd have to be under some sort of probation after rehab (say two years?), and if they fail a drug test, its back to rehab (or prison), again, giving them a choice. Now, if they go through rehab a second time and still screw up, perhaps a combination of jail time and THEN rehab would be called for. I just think we gotta try something new here. [/QB][/QUOTE]
