Gasoline, Varsol, any paint thinner.
Be careful though. Use unleaded gas. It’s legal to use marked, save a few pennies on the tax.

People seeking detox treatment face weeks-long waits
“The waits are long and it’s quite the bottleneck,” said Jordan Cooper, director of services for Our Place Society. “We have people coming into our community centre seeking treatment and most require detox before they can go into recovery. We’ve heard of wait times of 100-plus days for detox.”
___________________________
In an emailed statement, however, Island Health said the waitlist for a medical detox bed is approximately five weeks. There are 21 medical detox beds on the south Island and none are currently closed due to staffing issues, the statement said.
___________________________
Both Cooper and Cheryl Diebel, director of New Roads Therapeutic Recovery Community, have been told that a number of detox beds had been closed due to staffing shortages. For the past two years, Diebel has consistently heard that the waiting list has been anywhere from 150 to 200 at any given time.

The residential treatment facility run by Our Place and housed in the former youth detention centre in View Royal is helping 30 men in recovery right now, but has room for 40, said Diebel. Most of the men who come to live at New Roads require detox.

I have news for you, addicts. There are wait times for medical treatment in this country. But wait a few weeks and you'll get in. It's not like you have anything better to do. And there are more productive people, and patients with more needs ahead of you.

Is there any evidence that detox and treatment actual works long term for a significant number of people? How many are clean and sober two or three years later?

I have seen it work first hand for people who are addicted to alcohol. I have no idea how effective it is regarding recovery from narcotics.

It's not very good.
As a result, 91% of heroin rehab participants who are discharged after successfully completing an opioid detox program report relapsing. 59% relapse within just a week of discharge.

It's hard to know if the programs are any more effective than just deciding on your own to go cold turkey. Or people just getting older and stopping drug use. I'm guessing there are not as many 65-year-old addicts as there are 35-years-olds, and it's not just because some have died.
Also, as you get older you might not have the means to support an addiction. Less ability to shoplift or break into cars, homes or businesses, or sell sex services. You are less adept at criminality to support your buying habits, so you simply use less.

Correct. Treatment usually isn't a permanent solution, but should be available as needed.

Agreed. Cancer often returns, that doesn't mean treatment should never be given for it.

You're never going to convince me treatment is a bad idea.
Edit: treatment = more than just naloxone

It’s always hard to know where to draw the line on care. We use over 50% of our lifetime budget in the last 6 months of life...
Perhaps that would be a better place to triage resources, since clearly the outcome is already determined.
