"They should go to mandatory rehabilitation." This is our future President @JoeBiden saying this. Today. He's right. Expanded mandated treatment is coming. @chesaboudin @MattHaneySF @LondonBreed @SupStefani @SF_DPH @DOPEproject @sfbos https://twitter.com/Breaking911/status/1301616121859186688 …

So stupid. That never works. The poor people who work in this field are swamped with people who want to get clean. They don’t need their precious time wasted w people who don’t want, never wanted to get clean. Addicts have to be WILLING to do the work. Sadly they need a bottom.

What's our alternative? We are stuck between locking people up and doing nothing. I went to a rehab where 87 of the 90 men were mandated to treatment. I know many were there to beat their sentence. But some of them found recovery along the way.

They were willing. My guess? They probably saw the mandate as a result of own doing. Didn’t get a resentment against cops, courts. Honestly I think we should be focusing on PREVENTION. because once someone is an addict it’s questionable if they’ll ever willingly give it up.

And I think this is key. An addict needs to see the hardships they encounter as their OWN fault. Otherwise it’s just another resentment, another reason for self pity, another reason to get high. But there’s no simple answer. No one size fits all.
