But to be honest its just a waste of money. So if they change the life of 1 gangster out of 50 they treat even, thats still a waste of money in my eyes. A big waste. Just let them end up in prison or on the cement. They dont make the world a better place, if you have yet to notice property value dropping big time where ever they may happen to move. That should pretty much sum it up for you!
“Gang membership has become an issue because of fights, robberies and intimidation of other patients and staff,” said Jennifer Farrell, a spokeswoman for the state Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services. “They are also known to be recruiting members from among the patients.”
Farrell said the office became aware of the problem last year and visited six drug-treatment sites, including two in Ulster County, where the problems were confirmed. Three others were in New York City and one in Albany. She wouldn’t further specify which sites were visited.
So far, no one has been injured by gang violence, she said.
The state office runs the largest chemical-dependence service system in the country, with an annual budget of close to $600 million. It is a conduit for state and federal money and an oversight agency for private and nonprofit treatment centers that sign contracts with the state to provide the services.
