Using your line of reasoning, there also should be no NCR decisions in the justice system, people with severe mental illnesses shouldn't be banned from owning firearms, etc.

I think again you're conflating my arguement. I haven't argued against any resources or procedures. In genral a medical intervention to opiate addiction is far superior to a criminal one. All I've maintained is that at some point society at large shouldn't be responsible. It circles back to another point I made, which is the worst part about addicts is they think that they're only hurting themselves. Does a fire fighter need to resuscitate the same person 12 times?
