Got it. Makes sense.

It's uncomfortable. There is no easy solution, it is obviously a complex and difficult problem that dates back to the first apes. But if we are to simplify the argument into a dichotomy, the options are
1. help addicts get back on their feet
2. let them suffer and die.
Option 1 sucks, and will only work for a small percentage of folks, option 2 is the historical norm. That said, binaries don't exist in society. most in this thread are suggesting some blend of the two which is a more nuanced debate which is better to focus on than my simplification.
