I know Mr. Sullivan means well, and I will give him credit for thinking of ways to find a solution. But this isn't a issue that HHS is even close to being effective in solving, quite honestly I would say that they unintentionally make it worse. 

The biggest problem is the inflated costs, treatment runs around 10,000$. I remember going into providence and the first thing that they wanted me to do was sign up for Medicaid, I chose not to. Medicaid would have picked up the cost of treatment, 10,000$ per person adds up.

Instead I got help from my health Alaska. 99$ for a evaluation, and 25$ for the vivatrol shot. That was it.

I became addicted to heroin from being prescribed OxyContin for a broken shoulder. I thought it was safe and perfectly fine since I was prescribed it. It ended up being a crash course for me in opiate addiction. Almost every one of my friends who got hooked on dark started the same way, with the exception of girls, they always seem to be be drawn in by a boyfriend.
