If the US would treat addiction and abuse like the healthcare problems they are and recognize drugs are mostly a criminal problem because they are illegal we could actually start solving this problem. Legalize all drugs AND provide either this kind of treatment center or a safe environment for the addict. It's the second part they did do in Portugal where legalization seems to mostly be a success, and that they did not do in Portland where things are mostly not. There also need to be places where an addict can use a small, simply furnished room where they can be supplied with the safely produced drug(s) of choice, food and water, and maybe a device to watch videos and listen to music. This both gets them away from other people trying to get things done and puts them in a safe place where they wont be victimized while they are out of it and can receive first-aid if they have a bad reaction.
