"The lack of medically skilled personnel and supplies makes poor outcomes and the death of detained clients very predictable. People found on the street with altered mental status are almost always sick people who are medically underserved."
"Withdrawal from a drug of choice may be life threatening without skilled medical supervision. Sequestering them with caregivers who have inadequate support is not a solution."
"I predict this will be a major source of harm to vulnerable San Franciscans, and lead to preventable deaths and much litigation."
The Reset Center plan is criticized for its narrow view of individuals with altered mental status. It lacks essential medical personnel and supplies, which can lead to predictable poor outcomes and deaths. Many individuals on the street are medically underserved, suffering from multiple health issues. The absence of skilled medical supervision during withdrawal can be life-threatening. Sequestering these individuals without adequate support is deemed harmful and likely to result in preventable deaths and legal consequences.
