Exactly. Treatment doesn't help--it's not something that can be imposed. You force someone into drug treatment, you're either wasting your money or their money. Every immediate family member I have ever had has at least touched on handling addiction--and they have all been adamant that it's useless without the desire. "You want to want to quit smoking, but you don't actually want to quit smoking. I won't take your money when I know I can't help you. Come back when you truly want to quit smoking." But locking them up doesn't help, either, other than in locking them up when their drug use causes other problems. Same as drinking is legal but drunk and disorderly is not.
