Ans. In the conference of united state mayors n 2008, 28% cities was surveyed reported and consider that many needs to be fulfilled for homelessness. The treatment is not suitable for both housed and homeless with substance abuse depended. According to national association of state alcohol and drug abuse directors estimated that almost 19.3 million people didn’t receive the treatment services. the lack of insurance and high cost prevent mostly people to get rid from the drug addiction with good treatment and medication. Further hurdles in this regard are lack of documentation, long waiting lists and lack of transportation. Funds are going to be targeted for the federal substance abuse treatment and prevention programs. Homeless substance abuser have some specific needs and programs must be arranged to compete that needs. Existing programs must be more strengthened. Proper public policies must be implemented that make treatment and prevention more effective and give more benefit to people. For homeless, substance abuse are both elements the cause and the result. So at the same time we should handle both problems. Care centers must be arranged that support such addicted people , give them job opportunities and handle with their needs so they never try to move towards the substance abuse in any case.
