BC Today, Sept. 16: Is involuntary treatment for addiction the right path for the province?
On Monday’s show:
The B.C. government has announced it will expand involuntary care for people with mental health and addictions issues, and will open “highly secure” facilities to house people detained under the Mental Health Act throughout the province.
We’ll hear arguments for and against mandatory treatment throughout the program. Viewers are invited to share if they feel this is the right path for B.C., and if they would want this for themselves or their loved ones.
