We also need to add serious mental health care as many are suffering from mental health issues self remedied by addiction to intoxicants. I have a family member who's been addicted for decades and even holding their hand by driving them to detox (a huge fucking scam) or therapy and putting a roof over them with food is not enough. They're so mentally fried from years of doing nothing but being high: no job, no social life, no hobbies - they just get high to pass the time day after day after day for over two decades. The only reality they know is a stupor. Sure, they might make a little progress from the weekly visits to a shrink but any stressor sends them right back to cloud city. From my experience they need daily if not 24/7 companionship with some kind of mental health life coach or whatever to keep them focused and anchored. Any opportunity to get high they will take so they need continuous supervision. Even family members don't have that kind of time to invest. It's such a stupid hard problem to solve.
