My hope (and expectation) is that anybody running these understands that there is a right and a wrong way to approach treatment. "Pushing" treatment is a much worse tactic than simply making it available. Addicts already get judged at every turn and are made to feel sub-human, so anything preachy will – as you noted – go over poorly. I think for a lot of addicts they want a place that can watch them for 20 minutes to make sure the drugs they've just used weren't more harmful than intended.
