Robust Verb—GamersPet

Vancouver has been known for an increase in crimes that involve heroin addicts breaking, entering, and stealing drugs in city streets. A “free heroin for addicts” program was created to alleviate the crime rate of addicts by providing a placebo drug that is clean, safe, and mimics the effects of heroin. The flaw in the “free heroin for addicts” is that it cannot help the heroin addicts to fully detoxicate themselves from the effects of heroin. People who try to stop using heroin completely cannot resist the temptation of heroin since heroin makes them feel addicted to the point that they want to get their hands on it by any means necessary. Heroin addicts are facing hardships and difficulties by trying to maintain their daily routines towards their jobs, social interactions, and relationships with their peers. Even though this method cannot cure the addiction to heroin, the program can support, and fix addict’s necessities to get through their daily lives. Aside from helping addicts, the program can provide support to staff members in city hospitals doctors, and nurses to avoid spending their time on patients who are drug abusers.

    A worthy start, GamersPet. You’ve corrected the worst of the problems in the sample. And introduced some new ones.

    A “free heroin for addicts” program was created to alleviate the crime rate of addicts by providing a placebo drug that is clean, safe, and mimics the effects of heroin.

    —I don’t know where you got this idea, but the program administers heroin, not a placebo.

    People who try to stop using heroin completely cannot resist the temptation of heroin since heroin makes them feel addicted to the point that they want to get their hands on it by any means necessary.

    —Your new sentence is very wordy.

    Heroin addicts are facing hardships and difficulties by trying to maintain their daily routines towards their jobs, social interactions, and relationships with their peers.

    —”are facing hardships and difficulties”?
    —and then you name them?
    —Skip the middleman.

    Heroin addicts can’t hold jobs or maintain relationships.

    And so forth.

    Good “starter grade.” Want to go for better?
