      Drugs is spelled wrong and the super loud music in the middle was not necessary.
      Other than that it’s a good documentary. Thank you for bringing the issues to light. Be safe out there.

      @@gokhank795 It's _extremely hard_ if not _outright impossible_ for the *overwhelming majority* of drug addicts to resolve their mental health issues without either first getting sober or simultaneously getting sober while getting proper psychiatric care. The two go hand-in-hand. Frankly, the overwhelming majority of addicts I've dealt with in life just didn't want to do the hard work involved, instead incrrectly believing they can rely on self-medicating with hard drugs to "manage their symptoms" because "those medications don't work" or they "don't like talking to counselors" or they simply don't want to participate in the available programs despite them having proven track records of working for people that are willing to do the hard work involved; and it is _very_ hard work. Many of these addicts symptoms reduce and/or resolve when they get sober _and stay sober._ Many of these people suffer from a form of mental illness called, wait for it... Substance Abuse Disorder; the first thing to do in that case, is get them sober. Imagine that... Substance Abuse _is_ *the* mental health issue.
      Plus, Arizona's Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS) might be a pain in the ass to navigate from time to time, but they are EXCELLENT about paying for mental health services and medication. The cost of treating someone's mental illness and keeping them sober is MUCH less expensive than letting these people destroy themselves and literally everything & everyone around them.
      I say all of this as a former fentanyl/drug addict and sufferer of major depressive disorder, anhedonia, compulsive suicidal ideation, and a shit ton of physical health complications that very negatively affect my existence and comfort, whom has had friends die on the street of OD and even malnutrition, and others who are in prison because they chose drugs and "self medication" over getting FREE, professional help from "the man" and support from their extremely caring families.

    Interesting to me that so many homeless just totally EXPECT to be cared for, like children, everyone else is supposed to do everything while they loll around in addiction and point out to you what you should do next for them. Not understanding that so many of the people they are asking from, are barely keeping their own lives together!! They complain about rent....that they don't pay, not getting the fact that rent is high and huge and hard for us too!! That we struggle to buy groceries and do without things, and STILL drop a buck to them. I'm so tired of being seen as rich and comfy when it is not my reality at all. I face most of the same shit as they do, just choose to educate myself, be careful with any money I do have, use coupons and sales, and generally try to be self aware. But self awareness and self respect can't come to you in a government check or be provided to you by anyone but you!

      Do you seriously think anyone chooses this life? Count yourself fortunate that you’ve never had to deal with mental illness or trauma alone with no one to turn to for help. The help these people need is either not available to them or they are incapable of seeking it out on their own. Drug addiction is what happens when they have to find some way to cope with their terrors or their trauma or their mental illness alone. You know there was this one homeless man that lived awhile back. He hung with the low people. The addicted, the sick, the troubled. No matter what their situation, he did not turn away or condemn a single one. He was ridiculed for who he hung out with. It angered the ‘normal’ people because he told them they should reach out and help their fellow citizens. That it was wrong to discard them like a piece of trash. They felt so self righteous when they killed him but then this happened…
      Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33And he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left. 34Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. 35For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, 36I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ 37Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? 38And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? 39And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ 40And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers,f you did it to me.’
      41“Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, 43I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’ 44Then they also will answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?’ 45Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’ 46And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”

      You think the problems shown in the video are going to be solved by random people that live in random places all over the world making TH-cam comments? We should be writing essays hypothesizing about tactics to battle these issues? Or reflecting on the societal issues that lead to it?
      All that would be well and good, but just cause people aren’t writing novels about these problems doesn’t mean they don’t recognize the reality. But it doesn’t affect them directly, so they don’t have detailed opinions to express about the roots of the problem

    I lived In phoenix for 5 years and the last few months I lived on the streets. There’s a visual difference In the number of ppl out on the streets between pre and post covid. My ex lost her place after covid during an eviction epidemic that started after AZ ended the covid sanctions. In my experience there was a lot of decent ppl out there and there were alot there by their own choice. The elephant In the room is that the borders right there and the feds, imo, have some agreement worked out with cartels,leaving a special culmination of abundant DIRT cheap drugs, and no one is leaving the place their plugs stays around. It was like Mad Max on meth and fetty, a wild thing to experience. God bless those ppl out there,they’re our brothers and sisters and deserve their dignity. Blame the feds fr.

I have been so I know what to look for. I saw homeless camps of multiple people here in one day. We are doing something wrong here.

    I used to live out there in “the zone” or w/e. Everyone just refers to it as CAS, (Central Arizona Shelter Services), because that’s the homeless shelter all the camping takes place outside of. The reason people stay there is because it’s essentially the only place in the valley where homeless individuals have access to basic services, like meals, showers, toiletries, etc.
    I can attest to how dangerous it is out there. Its completely lawless. Fortunately, my wife and I only ended up being homeless for about 4 months. Fortunately, through her planning and foresight, we were able to work our way out. And I’m happy to say we haven’t struggled financially in years, and our lives have taken a complete 180° turn. And it sure as hell was no thanks to the city of Phoenix.

Being newly sober isn't going to get those for you. It's an important factor in getting organizations to want to help you.
      Mentally ill face different challenges, and it is not just our homeless sufferers either.
