"Only found out about service by being arrested."

About: Addaction Boston

(as the patient),

When I was in treatment I neve knew such survacis was available and only found out by being arrested and put on a referall. Now its been improved by being more advatised.

I was given the option of what treatment I wanted that did not help as I took what I could and was on treatment for years.

The way things should be is for the doctor to choose treatment and not give the option of treatement then increas if not suitable and also to have a time limite for treatement not to be aloud on it for years.
