There are many places for addicts, if indeed the owner of the bedding has an addiction of any kind.
There's a homeless shelter, a place called Acorn where you can access help of all kinds and a day centre plus at least two places which accommodate homeless people.
Many don't want help.
Windmill is a place where help is offered but it cannot, quite rightly, be forced on these persons. There are certain hoops to be jumped through but that's normal for most kinds of help, not just addiction problems.
There are also persons who do have 'homes' but choose to display placards indicating that they have no accomodation.
There was a TV programme showing several people, alcoholics and users if drugs,
some quite young in late teens twenties, who were offered flats and helped with furniture but sold it and defaulted on rent because they earned more by sleeping and 'begging' in car parks by the pay machiness.
They earned as much as £200 per day each and some were couples. They spent it on heroin and very occasionally sofa surfed.
Sad...but they just like the life they live.
Who'd employ them, scarred from injecting, no idea of normality?
You'd have to be very trusting...very trusting.
They have more friends on the street than not, therefore living without their 'mates' is something they cannot envisage.
