I've also lost a friend to a heroin overdose, and as best we can tell it was unintentional and the result of a significant difference in purity/dose from what he was expecting. It's the sort of thing legalization and regulation would go a long way to fixing. Naloxone being readily available and using with others capable of dosing you with it to stop an OD would also be a huge deal. But yes, I imagine any rehabilitation programs would be voluntary, though I think it would be reasonable to force them in situations where people are doing other illegal things while on the drug - DWI, the sort of public abuse you see in some cities (though lots of this is tied to a larger homelessness issue), etc. Bundle it up with programs for the homeless and you probably take care of a lot of the worst situations for people. I don't think we'll ever get to perfect, but I hope everyone believes we can get to a better spot than we're at today.
