    beyond that forced treatment is ethically questionable, conditioning other forms of help on sobriety puts people in a bind. it’s hard for people to get and stay sober when they’re suffering, physically and mentally.

    housing/food/health care (to include mental health and psychiatric care) first means it’s more likely that efforts toward sobriety will even work.
