Frequently centers provide a service to their 'clients' whereby the clients can stay for up to two weeks, have their accommodation and food provided, and get counseling, support and advice.
Rehabilitation Centers ostensibly have the purpose of helping people to get off drugs, and therefore reduce the number of people who take drugs. In fact they do just the opposite. A brief thought experiment demonstrates this.
Suppose you build a freeway system, and it is very popular. You decide to charge people $5 for the use of it, and set up toll-booths on the entry ramps. But you find that the $5 provides a disincentive for its use - less people now use the freeway - some of them prefer to fight their way through the crowded city streets instead of paying the $5.
Someone has an idea - instead of charging $5 to get on to the freeway you charge $5 to get off the freeway, and set up the booths at the exit ramps.
Does it make a difference? Of course not. Consumers are not stupid. They know if they drive onto an entry ramp they will get charged the $5 (eventually), and their behavior will not change. Some people will simply choose a non-freeway-use lifestyle.
Now consider heroin use. Suppose someone offered $1000.00 in counseling help and subsidies for everyone who agreed to start taking heroin. Suppose too that they could get off heroin, and then get the $1000.00 again if they agreed to start taking it again. Would this increase the incidence of heroin use? Of course - that what subsidies do.
Suppose that instead of offering the $1000.00 when they started taking heroin, you offered the money each time they stopped (provided they stopped for as long as you provided the accommodation). Would this make a difference? Of course not. You are subsidizing the drug-taking lifestyle by giving the $1000.00 subsidy. More people will chose a heroin-taking lifestyle.
If drug takers were indeed victims, then this system would be harming just the people it supposedly supports. In fact the only victims here are the tax-payers who have to subsidize people taking drugs.
