The resident's idea, as submitted
The idea
Open up woman and child drug rehabs because we don’t have any local women and child rehab centers in Massachusetts. Women will be able to get cleaned while still living with their child.
Who it helps and why
Women and child need support with the huge drug addiction epidemic they also need support and have access to rehabs. Most programs are men only, if they get resources they usually have to leave their kids and family behind while prevents them from actually wanting the help to get better.
