Mandatory, secure rehab is the answer in my opinion. Somewhere where they can't leave but have access to the relevant support, counseling and controlled meds. A 3 month stint isn't going to be enough for a lifelong addict.

I agree with all that Annie.
You are right about prisons too.

People go to prison who haven't touched drugs but then get introduced to by having them given in there.
It's a way of a coping mechanism of being in prison.

Yes however, I totally agree with your second paragraph.
