The piece that seems to be the problem for us is that a lot of organizations aren't prepared to deal with addictions as well. There aren't the supports in place for counselling or for detox. When people are using meth, and in a lot of situations other drugs, a medical detox needs to takes place. We're trying to do the trauma piece after, and the supportive piece after, but in a lot of situations, the detox and the medical system pieces aren't in place to be able to support people to get to the piece of dealing with the trauma.
In addiction situations, medical detox needs to be done first. All the stuff that's been medicated for, all that time, is the stuff that can be dealt with after. That's the discrepancy and the challenge that we find.
