I'm more and more convinced that anything you try do on this front is an exercise in "what is least bad". Forcibly putting people in treatment is bad, the impacts on communities around safe consumption sites is bad, throwing people's tents and belongings in a dumpster is bad, leaving the tents and having people get physically and sexually assaulted is bad.
Any one of the individuals in these situations we're trying to fix needed to be helped decades ago. It truly seems it's just too late by the time we get to the guy shooting up on the train platform, and our social services intervening to keep kids from ending up in these tragic circumstances need to be stepped up big time.
