Somehow, you believe that jail is the best option for treatment?

So, lets jail the professionals that are addicted too. After all, it is the best option for treatment, right? They are also hurting themselves as much as they could otherwise and probably hurting bystanders and their family. But that's ridiculous - few support that. If it were the best option, it would be recommended treatment for all.

The best option for treatment is actual medical based treatment in a facility that isn't punishing you and with staff trained in caring for you in your state. The best option for not leaving people on the streets is to house them. Housing and feeding folks makes treatment much more likely to work.

If professionals harass people under drugs (or without) we do jail them. It's just the homeless in the liberal cities who have untouchable status and can freely violate all kinds of laws.

That isn't what the poster was saying. They were saying that the best treatment was jail. And that's not the case. Jail is horrible for treatment.
