Hell, that's an easy answer. You can't treat an addict unless they're willing to quit, period. You can force a person to go to meetings, take therapy, etc, but if they aren't actually ready and willing to stay clean, it's a waste.

Literally learned this 100 years ago. But I guess people have forgotten how hellish Sanatoriums were.

Waste of time, money and lives.
