You just don't understand. Every single study EVER completed in every country in the entire world returns similar results: forced treatment does not work in terms of long term effects.
Yes, short term, drug use goes down, because it has to, the people are forced against their will to stop taking drugs and literally cannot access them. Statistically, a vast majority of these folks relapse, then when you have a bunch of addicted people relapsing, you'll have a spike in overdoses and deaths, as their dose is too high. but the drug problem effectively gets kicked down the road a few years. On top of that, you now have a large segment of the population that now has zero trust in the government since they're arresting people and forcing treatment against their will.
Nobody here is saying "lets see what happens". There needs to be more resources and facilities, so when someone wants to get clean, there isn't a 12 month waiting period to start.
