Jesus. Forcing people into treatment against their will does not work. End of story. And there is no way this will not be abused. Get more treatment available for those who want it. And make it in a place that isn't dehumanizing. That will actually help people.

Christ what an asshole
Notice how they're not going to require that every person be provided stable, adequate housing, mental health care, and addiction care. Nope. Just the equivalent of jail. When the only tool you have is a hammer ...
This man is definitely working on losing any future presidential vote from me.
How will they get around the fact the much of addiction treatment (AA and its like) is religious. Forcing people into a religious program, even for addiction, seems like a violation of the separation of church and state. There is a dearth of secular treatment programs available for people.
It's better than shooting them, like they do elsewhere.
