I believe you will find out programs only works when a person realize he is an addict and wants help to clean his self up not because they are forced into a program because of family or the court system. Jail isn't always the answer but it gets them away from their addiction and protects them for awhile and there are programs for them. Another thing they have to find new friends when they come out clean otherwise they will end up right back to where they were.
