This is precisely what the video is trying to say we need to rethink though. I have to question whether you actually watched it?
What you're saying directly implies it's solely up to the addict. Like it's all his responsibility. Like he got himself into such a mess and he has to dig himself out.
Sure, it ultimately is down to them, but this shouldn't be the approach or mindset when dealing with addicts. It's not about "oh it's them who has to make the first step and that's that" or "they have to want to stop". These attitudes aren't conducive any more than saying "murderers shouldn't murder". No shit, tell us something we don't know.
