You may not agree with the solution chosen but it seems as a society we've decided on death as the long term strategy. Eventually these addicts will simply die off.

New addicts will keep coming along, of course, until we stop making people so miserable that addiction feels preferable to ordinary existence.

Drug clinics work just fine, why go with the expensive option?

Even if you subscribe to this notion, you’re ignoring the billions it costs for emergency services so this addict can “die off”.

I'm sure having some of your family die off because everyone else seemingly deemed them as a worthless junkie whose only use is dying before they take up too much resource won't drive others to be miserable and start consuming drugs...
