@suenlw She was referring to the worst case of mandated treatment she knew of. She had shaken the hand of this doctor. She said she couldn't wash her hands enough now. It has nothing to do with ethnicity. It was about the evils of mandated treatment when the "treatment" itself is evil.

"If you combine treatment and imprisonment, treatment doesn’t shape the imprisonment, prison shapes the treatment." @Kassandra_Fred in spicy debate at #AMERSA2022

"Most of the people who are in treatment right now are being forced to be there." @Kassandra_Fred spicy debate at #AMERSA2022

[AT Forum @ATForum]

It's not money or stigma that prevents most people from going to treatment. It's: "The neuroadaptation that says I cannot live peacefully without these drugs, and therefore I refuse any attempt by your part to save my life, my children." @madras_bertha rebuttal at #AMERSA2022.

"If care and control are equated, you can't expect people to come to you" for help. @Kassandra_Fred in spicy debate on mandated treatment at #AMERSA2022

[AT Forum @ATForum]

There is not only one kind of mandated treatment: there is quality treatment, prison, or the awful Chinese neurosurgeon who ablated nucleus accumbens of 600 people with addiction. @madras_bertha in #spicydebate at #AMERSA2022

"First a person takes the drug, then the drug takes the person." @madras_bertha at #AMERSA2022 after listing many areas where she and @Kassandra_Fred agree (human life is paramount, SUD has consequences for family members and others, mandated tx is not for everyone.

[AT Forum @ATForum]

From @honoraenglander at #AMERSA2022: One in five -- some hospitals one in four -- hospitalized patients has an SUD. These patients don't go for tx for #addiction, they go because severely ill. But hospitals need to be open to their needs and never stigmatize.
