The cure for addiction isn't simply removing a person's ability or avenue to use a substance for a set period of time. It's comprehensively improving a person's wellbeing to the point where that wellbeing is unequivocally valued; to where a substance becomes a hinderance to that wellbeing.

Involuntary intervention can often be a first step. However, involuntary treatment is a soothing solution to lazy and simple-minded people that like to think they're helping, but in fact have never had a brighter resolving thought beyond what equates to "lock 'em up".

You want to solve addiction? You can't, but how about addressing the myriad inequities and social failures that lead to it in the first place.
