To help baffled GP's who lack the knowledge to help their patients the NHS in London has opened a new clinic specialising in the treatment of the former legal high clubbing drugs like mephedrone, GHB and Ketamine which are believed to become ever more popular at the expensive of traditional recreational drugs like Cocaine and Heroin which traditional centres have been used to treating.
"Bowden-Jones said those who take club drugs tend to be younger, employed and sometimes affluent. They are often in relationships and don't necessarily identify themselves as addicts.".
Apparently there have been over 70 referrals to the new "Legal Highs" Centre before it had even opened its doors.
In our opinion spending money on treatment certainly makes much more sense than spending vast amounts catching people and locking them up. A good progress move.
