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.
"almost anything works" - still can't rationalize spending a billion dollars a year in SF alone for Mental Health SF. We have other choices.

I didn’t say everything works equally well. And most of the money goes to detoxes, housing and the medical care people have neglected. It’s not all recovery. You have to have the willingness of Sir Edmund Hillary to get clean just by reading a book from your local library.

Do you think we should do something about the drug dealers who are preying on our addicts?
