These people need access to supervised consumption, addiction services, rehab, etc. Isn't it Portugal that basically legalized everything and addiction rates went down in a big way? Go off of that format and improve on it if we can.

I believe and this is pulled from a concussion addled brain and super simple terms, but in Portugal essentially it is legal to use drugs but illegal to sell drugs.
Drug addicts get help and scumbag dealers that take advantage of those with additions get jail.
That being said anyone has a great reference to read re: Portugal and their approach to drugs I would love it.
