It's not a service, it's a penalty. I believe the whole point of this bill is to remove monetary penalties against people who haven't been convicted of a crime.

The state pays for it as a cost of law enforcement. If they think they're paying too much, they find a cheaper vendor or use it more sparingly. Law enforcement is a cost to society. Budget for it appropriately. If you find it's getting too expensive, look at ways to reduce costs. Maybe prosecute fewer drug crimes. But don't pass the cost along to those who are accused without any conviction.
