Why do you say they don’t work?
I think any different strategy should be welcomed for this problem. Didn’t this concept work for Portugal? I think the key is that after compulsory treatment you have to further invest in these people and help get them some skills in some kind of field they could get a job in and as well probably pay for like a year or so of housing, linked to continued treatment.
I just assume that anyone on drugs and not sober is unable to make sound judgement decisions for themselves so in some cases you have to force them to get clean and then couple that with giving people some hope.
Really can’t be worse than the current strategy?
