The problem is how do we you fund repairing damage done by drug users, mostly to themselves. Do they give up their right to free e-room treatment? Do we turn away sick people if we believe their condition arises from drug use? Any attempt to deprive drug users of anything, even money in taxes on the drugs, will lead to cheaper illegal drugs appearing as an alternative. The war against Americans continues.
Make them indentured servants for a time to pay off treatment, but make it voluntary.
For some it would mean a lifetime of involuntary servitude (unconstitutional). Most of them are not productive people so it would take a long time to pay off a $50k bill for inpatient treatment.
I meant "Voluntary," as in, they accept the indentured servitude in exchange for the assistance. Otherwise there's nothing.
"(unconstitutional)"
Like that ever stopped you guys before. https://pic8.co/sh/QQUJf6.jpg

$50K? Economies are actually just a bad jokes that got out of hand. I'm not even sure what kind or length of treatment it would take, so perhaps it's best to not go into that.
Most of them are not productive people
We don't live in a system where productivity is rewarded, but I guess that's besides the point.
I think that people prone to addiction will always find a way to get addicted, like sniffing glue or gambling and so on.
And they should have a right to as long as they don't require others to subsidize their choice. Unfortunately, we currently have a rather extensive and expensive "safety net" in place that they will be far more likely to use than the few unfortunate people for whom it is intended.
I am not prone to absolutism, I prefer nuance.
