- Liquor profits . are. high .

VANCOUVER: (CP) ‘— The 5,C,
government expects to make $365 million
’ in profits this year from the sale uf liquor,
but it will spend only $18 million to treat
the troubled consumers of that liquor and:
illegal intoxicants.

The diflererice between the two figures
ig magnified in the minds of many. people
by.the perception that British Columbians
- must- go-to the U.S, or to Alberta for -
treatment.

John Russell, executive director of the
’ Health Ministry's. aleohgt and drug
programs, disagrees with that. perception
ard says that spending on alcohu] and drug
tréatment has grown rapidly in the last
decade.

“The field has grown quickly, and there
is a danger of it growing toy quickly," -
Russell said, ‘‘We have on more than.one
occasion sent around circulars to
-- physicians -and we- have advertised, our |
services. a .

‘In 1970, the government spent $2 million
an these programs, while taking in more
thin -30 times that amount, $61.5 rolllion.

“This year the-guvernment is-taking “hy 20- --

- Russell said the programs touch about 10...
per cent. of B.C.’s estinated 100,000
alcoholics. “It’s not a service: you can
force down peuple's throats."

Many people involved in treating’

’ alcoholics agree with Russell abuut ‘the
' adequacy of funding.

Blil Hansen of the Richmond Alcvhiol'and |

_Drug Abuse Team said alcohol is one of

B,C,'s.top health problems. ‘There's only

avery little bit of money. seb. aside for the

problem;”’ he said.

Lawyer Georges Goyer, ‘who advises
many .treatinent. agencies, believes that
services would have to be doubled to allow”
treatment instead of - incarceration for
drunk drivers.

“Out of the. muney budgeted for. aleohol
and drug programs, $2,5 million gues to
administration, research and employee
assistance programs, Russell said.’

The remainder gues for treatinént, most
of It for alcoholics; About half of the
treatment money is spent un government
programs, the other half for Programs run :
by private agencies. .
