“We have to be better at investing in people to make recovery somewhat more attractive for people to try.”“We’re trying to sort of challenge the notion that we need to force people into treatment services,” added Ghosh, who said the incentive process has already been tried and tested in substance use.
Drugs need to be counteracted with another catalyst, and Felicella and Ghosh said monetary incentives work, citing the $5 in cash that convinced dozens of Downtown Eastside residents to get their COVID-19 vaccines in 2021.“This is a way of giving people back their confidence and a little bit of identity that they too are part of something that’s bigger,” said Felicella.
“As the Province implements new approaches to addictions supports and harm reduction – some of which are first in Canada – it is building evidence to further escalate the response to the toxic drug crisis in a way that best helps people who need it, when and where they need it.”Trudeau says Ottawa will continue to partner with B.C.
The advocates no nothing about addiction or rehabilitation! The goal is to get clean, doing that is just foolish. I was an addict for 40 yrs. and I have never seen it so bad! The purpose of getting straight boils down the individual, not what government thinks!!
This isn't going to be very helpful they tried this in the states and didn't find any improvement
Perfect -,- , 20$ is exactly the price of a 1/4 of cocaine.
Mist likely work better and cost a lot less than the ridiculous safe injection sites that just enable drug users instead of trying to help them
No.
Wait what? We are going to pay drug addicts to get help?
Hilarious, this is definitely going to work! They'll be lined up for miles
🤦♂️
This makes more sense than enabling people with injection sites.
Why giving money 💵 no that's their problem
Settle down
Whoppie shit. Pay druggies $20.00 a day for being druggies.I want to be paid $100.00 a day for being the outstanding decent person I am in our society.
Some people don’t even have $20.00 left from their pay check at the end of the week. Maybe give to the people who work hard for their money and get nothing for it.
Offer them MAID.
20 bucks wont even buy you a Shawarma wrap
