Program would only be available to those who want to go, not compulsory. If they're an addict and the problem is their local environment, their dealer, their friends, their debts on the street, etc., getting out of the environment is their best shot at success.

Yes, rehab would be a major part of the program. It needs to be very remote and isolated. Participants would be removed from the program if they roamed off base. There'd be 0 tolerance for any drugs coming on base.

Says who? Studies have shown that family tend to be one of the ways people *do* get off of the streets. My family worked hard to get my sister into a better situation- isolating her from those resources (and pushing her to Texas) would have absolutely killed her.
