Drug Rehab Is Critical With Mandatory Welfare Drug Testing
Affordable drug rehab is an important issue that has received extra attention as of late because of a law that recently passed in Florida and Missouri. Florida Governor, Rick Scott, signed a bill requiring all welfare applicants to personally pay for drug testing prior to receiving benefits.
