Is involuntary care a good idea for those struggling with addiction?

Update: 2024-09-29

Description

Addiction can be agonizing and, far too often, deadly. It can tear apart families and communities. So it's not surprising that politicians are under pressure to do something about it. And increasingly, some provinces are calling for involuntary care: forcing some people into treatment and keeping them there until the program is finished. There are still lots of questions. Does it work? Will it reduce the number of people using dangerous drugs? And how will governments decide who should be sent to treatment, without their consent? Will that power be exercised fairly?
