This article written by Flanagan and Briggs, reviews the amount of homeless drug addicts living in the Atlanta Metro area and the amount of aid and recovery that is being used to help those in need.  The article begins by explaining the reason why many of these homeless people are turning to drugs. Many living in the homeless community, suffer from a number of different mental illnesses and because of this as well as their homelessness causes them to not receive any form medication. They instead turn toward cheap drugs that are an abundance in their communities. The article then explains why many of these people are now entering free rehabilitation services in order to rid themselves of their ailment.  Many of these people are now looking to different resources to aid them and are now looking for employment after they are rehabilitated from their drug use. The reason I chose this article is because it analyzes the lives of the homeless and why the public may have a perception of them to the point of wanting separation.
