I used to administer benzos as part of the CIWA protocol. Why does this place give alcohol instead of benzos?
I think because that to minimize damage for a full acute withdrawal. As I understand it, benzos increase GABA that is depleted from alcohol, because NMDA recovers more quickly and is excitable, causing the twitching, seizures, etc.
This seems like a slow wean off with social and housing support to replace the dependency on alcohol. Kind of makes a lot of sense.
I’d read somewhere that this program averaged over $300,000 per supported-addict per year, of taxpayer cost.
Having tried participating in “charities” before, I find that number ABSOLUTELY BELIEVABLE.
The US’s United Way pours millions of donated-dollars into the personal-wallowing-wealth of its executives.
It will be a “fine, pleasant, moderate, & reasonable” day in hell, before I’ll believe that the category “not for profits” is any less corrupt than the other categories ( for-profit operations, governments ).
I hope it was wrong information I saw, disinformation, rather than truth/fact, but … no “charity” that I’ve every tangled with would tolerate limiting administration’s wealth for sake of honesty.
None.

Not-for-profits just means they are less corrupt. (Doesn’t stop them from being very corrupt).
