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.

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.

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.

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

LOL -- So often you see alcoholics doing crimes to get their next fifth of whiskey because it's so expensive.

It makes more sense to diminish the punishment in certain circumstances if the criminal agrees to pay for his/her rehabilitation.
