Of course with the ultimate goal of getting them treatment to get them off it.

Maybe, except that these addicts are using something that I don't think can really be used safely. Oxy can be incredibly deadly if used. lets say that there's a manufactured version in terms of legalization, can we safely assume that the addicts that use these incredibly potent drugs are going to want to use something that is inevitably going to be not the same thing.
As I said I would be willing to look at decriminalization for addicts, but I doubt you could convince me that not going hard after dealers and distribution doesn't need to stay the same.
At the end of the day, there's still also going to be the same problem of where these addicts are going to get the money to pay for the drugs.
Also, with the harder drugs, I doubt that your every going to get the sellers and distributors out of the market place, they will fight for that market. Look at the rise of Krokodile (Sp?) for example when users wanted a cheap synthetic heroin.
