And related to that is another uncomfortable truth - only a small fraction of addicts willingly avail themselves of rehab. So any program that relies on voluntary admission to treatment will only nibble around the edges of the problem.

There aren't enough voluntary treatment centres to serve the people currently attempting to access them. There are also cost barriers for many people, not to mention the stigma attached to admitting to drug use.
