      Not as a default. People should only be hospitalised if they medically need it.

      It also doesn’t address the societal issues which lead to their addiction in the first place.

        Again, that’s what I’m talking about. If someone is mentally ill or has addiction issues so severe they are homeless then hospitalization is medically necessary.

        Get them fit first, get them the tools they need to survive, then get them housed.

        Otherwise all you’re doing is sealing them in a room with untreated issues, making it all 1000x worse.

          I find the commie block for homeless idea deplorable for this reason. Shuffle all societies undesirables into a ghetto and just expect it to work out. Gee has this been tried before?

          How the fuck can notary can notarize selling home by an addict? They are supposed to verify mental wellbeing of both parites, especially seller. Not just home, but the only home! Notaries refuse selling the only home even by mentally stable and not addicted people for tiniest reasons.

          That’s fair. My point is unless you also at least try to fix the issue in society that caused them to get ill in the first place they’re just either going to relapse, or are best someone else will end up in their place.
