I think the best investment we could make as a society would be mandatory re-hab centres for alcoholics and drug addicts. They clog up the health system and have the biggest costs to society (crime, etc.). Total violation of personal liberty, but I think it would be worth it.

Mandatory re-hab centres? Ya, forcing an addict to get help always turns out roses. In fact, I couldn't think of a better way for addicts to "clog up the health system and have the biggest cost to society" than forcing every addict to go to treatment whether they want it or not.
The biggest of the many problems with your idea is that it absolutely 100% without question will not work.
