ADDICTIONS HURT THOSE CLOSE TO US

I'm disappointed my neighbours are so narrow-minded in not seeing the 
positive in having a rehab house in Rockland. I live just shy of the 
neighbours who were contacted, which is too bad as I would have 
voiced my strong support.

This province is so under-resourced on facilities and solutions for 
addictions. It is one of the biggest health problems in our society today.

Alcoholism and drug addiction affects every class; millionaires, 
white collar, blue collar, no collar, your family member, yourself. I 
wonder if the gentleman fearing for his safety would feel differently 
if his father or brother or son needed a recovery solution.
