why would an addict want to better themselves in this situation?

Because most addicts want to better themselves and once basic needs are met they have the ability too.

The only change I'd make to this is to let addicts out, and not completely disconnect them from society.

Why do humans have motivations?

Alot of people have motivations or goals but never fulfill them, giving them incentive to not fulfill them at the same time makes no sense. in fact its doing the opposite by incentivizing complacency.
