In his portraits of sex workers and the homeless struggling with
addiction, photographer Chris Arnade is neither demanding an increase in
social services or gawking from the sidelines at others' degradation.
At their core, his "Faces of Addiction" portraits are simply about
watching and listening to other people. Arnade repeatedly declares his
one simple objective at the end of each detailed photo caption: "I post
people's stories as they tell them to me. I am not a journalist. I don't
try to verify, just listen."

Private clinics struggle to get funding as government policy favours less effective – but cheaper – methadone clinics. Nina Lakhani reports
Britain's rehab services are facing collapse. No fewer than 15 of the UK's 100 rehab centres have closed in the past 15 months, despite an increase in the number of people seeking help for addictions.
Because of changes in government health policy, private rehab centres are finding fewer and fewer health authorities are willing to foot the bill for addicts to have residential treatment, despite that fact that it is much more effective in getting them off drugs, according to the Addiction Recovery Foundation.
