Editor,
An in-patient alcohol treatment center for fourth and more offense drunk drivers is an issue that has come up often.
And with the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes, offenders go to Deer Lodge Prison or to long-term treatment. For something that’s just incarceration isn’t any good. An easier, softer way for drunk drivers would work; go easier on them, they’re only sick with a disease.
What would be good would be a new era — two weeks of shock treatment/aversion therapy; take medicine to get you just sick, hungover, withdrawal, nightmares, a bad experience you’d never forget for the rest of your life. When you’re done, you go home. No desire to ever drink again or drive. May be a real success. This should be looked into. It’s worth a try. It would save money, space and time; less drunk drivers on the road. And, once through the treatment would be plenty. No relapses, ever. New hope, new beginnings, good people could work at a new thing — a success.
