Addicts may very well be committing suicide in progression of their disease but how is allowing them to perish on the streets a kindness or adequate response. It might be better to house them in dormitory like facilities run by government with drugs/alcohol furnished along with nutrition. The facility would provide a safe space to commit their suicide. They can enter but leaving requires a reentry delay. They would be responsible for cleaning their areas and themselves. Staff would oversee the operation and counselling available for those who wish it.
Could be less expensive than trying to enforce the law and run the ER for respite care. It would suggest society supports drugs but the addict is there already. Some addicts might decide on their own to get clean but there would be no force needed. I understand that our morality gets in the way of such a proposal but we certainly aren't helping by allowing the street to be their home.
