Last week, Last week, I decided to go to the Tenderloin "Linkage" Center to see what it's all about. You see, my son Roman is an addict with mental illness and has been on and off the streets for a few years. I needed to get in & see how this place is "helping" people with SUD. 
Lots of workers standing on the outside (on phones) as well as security.
My process:
1) Ask for help getting off drugs.
2) Answer two q's - Why are you here? Do you have weapons?
3) Told to come back on Mon for help w/ SUD, but I can come in & use

I was led to the "harm reduction" area. People were doing all kinds of things from resting, sleeping, talking, dancing or passed out on the ground. Loud music played in the background. It looked like a party scene
Another area was sectioned off where people were snorting/injecting/smoking all kinds of illicit drugs as well as drinking. A long table full of drug paraphernalia was available to all. Most of the "workers" were on their phones or socializing.
1 small bulletin board w/ fliers for "services" One big party scene in my humble opinion. The pathway to services at the TLC was triggering - even a non user like me. People are SERIOUSLY ill w/ SUD in #SF
Can we please get some SERIOUS HELP PLEASE?
