Rejected petition Help reduce the cost for Drug Rehab
The expense for a 28 day course of treatment is on average over £6000, too expensive for most addicts. Government funding should reduce the price by at least 33%.
More details
We know it is morally wrong to make recovery for the weakest in Society unaffordable. Hundreds of Thousands of People's Lives and Families could have a second chance if Rehab was made more affordable.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
The cost of private drug rehabilitation treatments are a matter for private providers, not the UK Government or Parliament.
You could have a petition calling on the Government to increase funding for free drug rehabilitation treatment on the NHS, if that is something you'd like to see happen.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
