The Harsh Reality Behind The Drug Assessment Minneapolis Minnesota

By Richard Gibson


It is difficult to accept the War on Drugs is an intentional failure, or that the charade is a means to an end for local politicians. Many struggle to accept that those behind the laws do not care if people use drugs. However, it is an ugly fact that herds of residents are being shifted from one town to another against their will with the aid of a drug assessment Minneapolis Minnesota.

If anyone has been forced to sit through impersonal drug and alcohol classes for a DUI, then they are aware that in the eyes of the State, ANY drug or alcohol use is abuse. There was a time when a prescription could keep one in good stead with the law. However, with the widespread prescribing of opiate drugs speeding toward the black market, even a person holding a legitimate prescription can be harassed the same as any addict.

Methadone patients have become a group targeted by law enforcement. Not only do State officials take children into foster care because parents are on the methadone program, but if any accusation gets made that they sold or even just shared their pills, they can be charged with felonies based on nothing more than hearsay or a coerced admission. Even with a prescription, assessors are still paid to report that the accused needs treatment.

Treatment comes as long-term programs requiring the accused to move to another state. They can be forced to get off prescriptions although many of them use strong opiates for chronic pain conditions that remain untreated during their withdrawal supervised by four or five other adults who share the room. True medical oversight is usually a part-time aspect of treatment, and the residents now risk detox on their own.

The treatment centers are hundreds of miles from where they live. Often they will house the individual and provide them with employment, but the center controls their money. They pay fines and fees to meet their probationary requirements, but they also keep a goodly portion for themselves, and leave little to no saved by the end of this treatment that allows them limited liberties and almost no privacy.

This gets particularly ugly when a community decides to clean up an area of undesirables, such as the homeless or low income neighborhoods. Once a person is incarcerated, loss of their job follows. If they are forced to spend months to years in another state, then tax liens and mortgage foreclosures are tidy ways to forcefully evict a person due to their economic status or possession of lands being sought for rezoning.

Hard addicts should have access to this level of care so they can practice sobriety by relocating as a means to radically change their life and pursue personal commitments. Unfortunately, the majority of those being subjected to these programs are weekend warrior pot smokers, New Years drunk drivers, and elderly or middle-aged people on prescription opiates. They get caught in a web of laws designed to promote the a system feeding on those most vulnerable.

Towns under attack are easy to identify. An area with 100,000 residents served by four+ law enforcement departments in zones less than 100 miles around is probably in a silent war to raise government revenue. Officers aggressively flood neighborhoods and harass anyone who drives, walks, or bikes. All designed to fuel an agenda geared towards probation recovery as well as arrests.
