A huge problem within Vancouver has arisen due to heroin addicts committing more crimes to support their habits. Crimes, such as breaking-and-entering and stealing, have become more prominent due to addict behavior, as addicts will do whatever is needed to get their next fix. Addicts typically do not have a support system to guide them through their addiction, as their use of the drug negatively impacts their relationships with others. Alone and addicted, an addict hones in not to better themselves, but for their next dopamine rush. In an attempt to negate this effect, the “free heroin for addicts” program plans to provide the desired drug to get addicts off the street and lower minor street crime. The program is also designed in a way to keep heroin users out of the hospital. Having a revolving door of addicts who choose to use bad drugs and unsanitary needles takes away from those who need care due to natural, unfortunate circumstances. And so, the program gives addicts free heroin in the cleanest way possible. One outlying problem remains, as the program does not help to wean addicts off of using heroin. Though, this was never the goal of the program, instead, the program is simply trying to lower the crime rates that have risen due to addicts. The “free heroin for addicts” program may fix the city  but not the addiction these people face.
