Providing needle exchange programs in the state of Texas may seem like a very controversial issue but I think that if you know the proper facts about these programs then one can see that it could be beneficial for the state of Texas.
Although it may seem that this is just providing drug users more oppurtunities to use drugs, it is not the only purpose. It states that these programs are reducing the spread of HIV and hepatitis. Also, it is providing for these drug users to seek treatment. So again, it may be providing more drug use, the overall goal is to prevent disease and practice safer habits.
The state of Texas should be more open to these programs because it is actually saving money. The costs to treat a patient with HIV is much much more than to run these programs to reduce the spread of the disesase. Although theses programs are provding needles for drug users, at the end of the day they are only trying to help the state of Texas be clean.
