The Finnish solution is to have a support team inside these facilities. There is also a trial period and substance usage is restricted (though per article there are places where it is more relaxed).
- snegu 7y agoI recently served on a jury in Seattle. The trial involved a man who was living in a facility similar to the ones described in this article. Many of the people living there continued to use drugs heavily in their apartments, and in this case that led to a murder. It was pretty depressing to see that even with significant intervention, people's personal choices led to disaster.
