As long as it's voluntary, it should remain a tool for those who choose to use it.
I don't like the idea of court compelled psychiatric or addiction treatment possibly putting people in situations where they might have to take it or otherwise be considered non-compliant to the courts.
The Marchman Act in Florida is particularly worrying in that aspect, as it doesn't require someone to have committed a crime at all to be involuntarily ordered into rehab, and non-compliance can mean being in contempt of court.
It's cliche, but it reminds me a little too much of the Ludovico technique.
