It’s very low, lower than regular rehab, which is already not that effective.

It’s very low, lower than regular rehab, which is already not that effective.
- Gareth321 3y agoWhich isn’t an argument against forced treatment because nominally, more people get treatment. To illustrate using made-up numbers: Policy A: No forced treatment: 10% of addicts attempt treatment with a 10% success rate = 1% overall success rate. Policy B: Forced treatment: 10% of addicts attempt treatment with a 10% success rate = 1% + 20% of addicts forced into treatment with a 5% success rate = 1% = 2% overall success rate.
