Liberal policy has caused this to increase as financial pressure is huge factor to stress

Addiction treatment is terribly underfunded. Unfortunately the same is true for all mental health treatment. Rarely can you be admitted voluntarily into the public system. Even harder to get treatment when you come to an Emergency Room or even a specialized hospital. Often a person hoping for urgent help will be sent home.
