Last Resort will encounter many difficult problems and issues, while achieving our goals. One of the main problems will be clients who arrive at our facility with Behavior Health issues; this issue goes hand and hand with the disease of addiction. A large number of addicts and alcoholics were prescribed, medication for his or her mental problems but when the addict escalate prescription medication is abused and other medication is replaced with mind altering drugs. Another issue will be that men and woman will be living at the same residents, recovering people needs something to fill the empty void of his or her addiction. When you remove the drugs and alcohol, the recovering person immediately go into a relationship; recovery people need someone to love after losing his or her best friend.
