Do Drug Addicts Ever Change Why Should We Help Them?

Question by CAGuy: Do Drug Addicts Ever Change Why Should We Help Them?
I mean I know a few people who are major drug addicts. Like my cousin for instance. He wasted $ 60,000 on Meth and Cocaine and Heroine, then gets addicted to pain pills like vicodine and calls the police on himself and lands himself in a half-way house.

He is so fried on drugs that he sells his stuff for drugs and takes things from the family but then when he goes to see a “doctor” he gets diagnosed with “depression” and “Bi-Polar” disorder and now gets Social Security and got a back pay of $ 40,000 and $ 1,300 a month.

Why do drug addicts and bottom dwellers of society who do nothing to improve themselves get assistance but normal people who barely make it to get bye get left behind?
