Personally I've always wanted to take every hard-core user of destructive drugs like alcohol, heroin, cocaine, crystal meth....
Offer to put them in a very comfortable facility where everything they could want is provided,
but they would not be allowed to leave without signing a contract,
which gives them a choice:
A) We will pay for and supply all the drugs you want, as well as keep you comfortably housed and fed,
....but if you overdose, we are not resuscitating you.
B) Get clean, with our help and support.
But you have to stay clean.
If you relapse and we catch you (or want more drugs from us) you go back to the prison, no choice.
But the difference is, this time we will not supply help with rehab.
Instead, we will simply put you in a room with all the drugs you could possibly want,
and you will choose to either work your way through them (which will eventually kill you)
...or you will choose, on your own, to ignore them, and continue to ignore them for a full year,
even though they are readily-available.
As long as they sit untouched, and you choose to ignore them,
you may live comfortably at our expense, within the prison, for up to a year.
If you need unrelated medical help, we will provide it,
but you will get no help with the rehab this time.
This time you must do it on your own, with the drugs sitting right in front of you, for a full year.
Now, if you break down and use the drugs, you can still choose to get yourself clean....but your year will start over.
But you cannot leave until you have successfully ignored the available drugs, by your own free will, for one full year.
