Are you on drugs? How can you consider that we would no longer use the force-of-law to apprehend druggies and then immediately conclude that because of that you would still have to go to their home and apprehend them?
The reason a druggie hides his habits is fear of the police. Without that fear any number of avenues become available to him for intervention and treatment. His employer may detect a problem and make treatment a condition of continued employment. His family, friends or other efforts in the local community will provide help.
If his irresponsible acts while being influenced by drug usage result in crimes, he will still be arrested for the individual crimes and be held responsible, Then one of the conditions of his punishment would certainly be treatment for the drug abuse.
LOL. Cuz junkies first and foremost concern is their job security. Most jobs NOW don't tolerate junkies. That's why junkies do crimes, duh.

That's my point. Same crap, different day. Forced treatment, forced incarceration. Same difference.
