What is the value in putting a person through forced rehab when the reasons they are drinking/ on drugs hasn't gone away?
Most successful rehab is voluntary. People need to first admit they have a problem. Simply making drug rehab programs more widely available without court intercession is likely to have a much bigger impact.
If people are released from rehab right back on the street, the chances rehab will be effective are even less.
Unless you at least attempt to fix the underlying issues, you are just pouring tax money out the door.
