Dear Editor:
A nine-bed drug recovery centre is hardly the equivalent of the Mongol hordes. Turning Point has an excellent record. About 75 per cent of those who attend are clean one year after discharge.
Recovered addicts save the taxpayer millions of dollars every year.
If you really believe there are no addicts or budding addicts on the North Shore ask a teacher. Give these people a break and, yes, I do live in the general neighborhood.
