Rehab is nurturimg, moving those afflicted with substance use disorder into inpatient treatment for a month or two, then onto a sober house (with government subsidy for 3 to 5 months) with outpatient treatment during that time.
Everett, WA has good inpatient treatment services like what I describe available to everyone. King County (containing Seattle, Bellevue, Redmond, etc) & Pierce County (Tacoma, etc) have no equivalent, just terrible programs like Seadrunnar.

For those that cannot or are unwilling, they should be offered the choice of jail or a work camp (keep on abusing but you're spending 4 hours a day picking up garbage). We need to have compassion but it doesn't mean these people get a free pass to literally trash our commons and steal to sustain their habits.
