What the petition asks

Please save addiction services throughout Staffordshire!

If we do not stand up people WILL die! Recovery is the most important part of the process to keep people alive and save mothers, brothers, sisters, fathers from losing a loved one. If we do not provide ongoing support many people will return to addiction and be stuck in this cycle which means MORE crime and MORE cost to society! Recovery is the most important part of the process to keep people alive and save mothers, brothers, sisters, fathers, grandparents from losing a loved one. If we do not provide ongoing support many people will return to addiction and be stuck in this cycle which means MORE crime and MORE cost to society! Please don't let our children die from drugs or Alcohol. Addiction is a disease and NOT a choice!
