Never said that they shouldn't get help.  They clearly need a lot of it.  But whatever help they need can be routed to a specialist thru a PCP.  Psych referrals are common, as you know.  We don't need separate clinics for this.  If I were abandoned as a child and suffered deep psychological scars as an orphan, then should I clamor for a separate clinic for the Neglected and Abandoned to be created?  No. I'd be referred to a psychiatrist or psychologist.

So if I give a million dollars to a health system to set up a Clinic for the Neglected and Abandoned are you going to gripe about that too? Or is it just these particular people you feel the need to attack? Wolfson downtown just set up a psych program called On Our Sleeves for peds mental health issues, that could be handled with existing psych services, should they not do that? Memorial has a specialty detox program, that could just be done through a PCP and an inpatient psych stay, should they not do that? Mayo provides industry best practice services for Executive Physicals, those could be done at any PCP office, should they not do that? I don't get your issue except that it's just "those" people and we can't have that.
