It's been far less successful in the USA, and I think the reason is probably that US governments don't know how to do anything except tax and police. So we decriminalize, which removes the law enforcement deterrent, but then we do little to nothing when it comes to treatment, counseling, rehabilitation, etc. We will pick up the body when they die on the street from an OD though, so that's something.
