So I start got on steemit and this post baffles me on so many levels.

One, we don't treat addiction correctly in America at all. By that I mean, we don't treat addiction. The justice system is weighted to lock people up after they screw up, with rehab programs for people addicted to many substances costing several thousand dollars. It should be a national health issue and there should be public programs to help, like in most other countries.

Second, what the actual fuck. Shock therapy? This feels like some Clockwork Orange craziness. I'm sorry. Obviously this problem is hurting your life and must cost you more than $20k/year (either in actual money or emotionally) for you to undertake this, but if this is true, it feels fucked up and bizarre. Surely there must be more effective treatment options out there. Everything about this feels crazy and off and insane. Where are all the comments questioning this? Or even asking more questions? Everyone is supporting you dumping a ton of money on a very intense treatment that may or may not work/be a scam.
