Drug Treatment Center to Break Ground

“There is a “new” groundbreaking date for Substance Abuse Treatment Center”, says Texas State Representative Aaron Pena. Once completed the facility will be 11,000 square foot. Three million dollars have been secured for this project. They are hoping that the clinic will be completed April 2011.Hidalgo County has been needing this facility open and begin giving treatments to individuals and families battling the addictions. The county will fund the clinic with local, state, and federal dollars. The state and local budgets will include more funding for substance abuse treatment programs for low level, non-violent offenders. Law enforcers continue to keep schools and neighborhoods safe. Even though the enforcements won’t be enough. Educating the children and adults about the dangers of drugs and alcohol abuse will most likely help. Also providing meaningful treatment and rehabilitation services will be helping this fight against substance abuse.
I do agree with the blogger on the fight against substance abuse. That having this facility will help many people with substance abuse and also help stop any kind of addiction before it starts. Having children and even adults educated about how important not doing drugs are wont be a guarantee that they won’t do it. But at least educating them will probably lower the chances of them trying drugs
