This reminds me of something I read that is going on in Florida..or actually..it’s a law that I read about that’s on the books now in Florida.
You can look it up and read about it…it’s called the Marchman Act. Basically, it’s involuntary treatment…

That tells you a bit about it, but basically, if you and 3 other people know of someone who’s in active addiction, you can forcibly send them to treatment…
I’m not sure of the end results..most people who aren’t ready to be clean aren’t going to STAY clean…it takes a personal willpower and being determined…along with hitting the VERY bottom before you get to that point. Forcing it on someone may not be as successful.
