You cannot fix mental health or drug addictions while a person is in survival mode and fighting to meet their basic physiological needs such as housing and food. It is hard to believe one could say such a thing unironically.

I work with this patient population full time, 365. You have no clue.

Damnit....they're in a facility, not a shelter.

What is the matter with you???

You don’t magically fix any sort of mental health or addiction problem with an inpatient stay. Doesn’t work that way.

You don't get their ass off drugs by saying.....here's a house. If that was the case, they wouldn't be burning down abandoned houses.

I'm glad you agree that you can't fix the problem with one magic step.
