(Health-NewsWire.Net, June 15, 2015 ) Miami, FL -- A Miami native who grew up in a poverty stricken district started out selling and taking drugs, joined the Air Force to pursue an education in neuroscience so he could cure drug addiction; his name is Dr. Carl Hart- who has just proposed America should follow the Czech Republic's lead and decriminalize controlled substances altogether and issue violations and citations similar to parking tickets, according to CBC. Dr. Hart supposes addiction is blown out of proportion by the media and government. CBC quotes him stating,
"When you have this relatively small percentage of users becoming addicted, it tells you that it's not the drug itself. The people who we see- for example on [East] Hastings- the reason why there are there, it varies. If we really want to know we'd have to give them individual assessments."
Hart suggests assessing substance abuse on a case-by-case basis, and that substance abuse stems typically as a result of poverty. He supports abolishing all criminal charges for the abuse of controlled substances altogether, in favor of less drastic tactics to mitigate addiction- which he claims is centralized in a small area. Miami Drug Rehab is a drug and alcohol addiction treatment center in Miami specializing in heroin and alcohol rehab in Miami. The addiction treatment center in Miami refutes Hart's supposition those addicted to cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamines are capable of going to work and living in relative normality without exhaustive treatment.
An associate from Miami Drug Rehab states, "Although I agree we need to find alternative policies for people with substance use disorders, I don't believe addiction is not a function of genetic predisposition. We have studies that back up the viability of genetics making one more susceptible to addiction. But I do agree with Hart's call for individual assessment- no two cases of addiction are equal. And on the contrary, drug and alcohol addiction treatment must address the disorder on a patient by patient basis. Uprooting the underlying catalysts of addiction is crucial in rectifying the physical and mental elements of the disease and rectifying the disease entirely. Hart is essentially describing what addiction treatment should already entail."
As a Miami Native Dr. Hart has seen the effects of untreated drug and alcohol use disorders first hand. CBC quotes him reminding officials and readers that, "Sometimes people have trauma or co-occurring psychiatric disorders that you have to treat."
