"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 …

I realize there is no one size fits all model to treating homelessness and drug addiction. But lately, there has been a growing movement attacking abstinence based recovery and vice versa. I think there's room for all types of recovery including mandated treatment.

Am all for abstinence. The addicts aren’t too keen on it. If you run a rehab how do you make a buck if the addicts won’t come in the door? After all it’s a business. Mandate I guess.

You can’t treat someone who doesn’t want to stop. Those that do, almost anything can work. The treatment isn’t nearly as significant as their willingness. How do you make an addict willing? Not by shielding them from the results of their actions. That’s enabling, codependency

Some. But some are just money-making scams. Like letting the addict “roll their own” treatment plan. Like choosing to switch from one addiction to another. Keeps them coming which keeps the $ rolling in. Not a believer in “for-profit” recovery.

The problem is most addicts do not want to stop. They don’t want to suffer, but they don’t want to stop. They’ll suffer and hurt people if that’s what it takes to keep getting high. How do you make an addict want to stop more than they want to get high? Solve that.

You can’t - but their odds would be greater without dealers around and in a solid community of people who care. It takes a village but everyone wants quick & easy & expensive solutions.
