[quote=Anonymous]You need the carrot and the stick. Most drug addicts are going to refuse treatment.... because they are addicts. If they are never forced to get treatment, most won't. In 2014 in California Proposition 47 removed the threat of jail for drug possession and theft under $950. Before then there were "drug courts" and offenders who were arrested for drug possession and/or theft had the option to go to jail or go to mandatory treatment. If you said you were going to go to treatment and didn't you had the threat of being arrested again and sent to jail. Now there are no consequences, there is nothing there to push addicts to even attempt to get clean. Now add housing first to the mix and you can be a raging addict who is stealing from stores every day and you still get housing. What is the incentive to stop using?[/quote]
