In fairness, while that's true, it's also the case - or at least I've always been led to believe so, and it makes sense - that there's a significant overlap between mental health issues, homelessness, and drug abuse, so it's not like it's a totally off-base assumption in the circumstances. I'd be lying if I didn't say I immediately assumed the same.
