For sure. The state should've had Iboga-shamans and nurses ready in every hospital, church and other nursing homes, each place capable of detoxing / removing addictions in at least 20 patients per two weeks
Every other addiction treatment, to my mind, seems like a joke in comparison, or at best - a very slow process.
@stonechater There are plenty of institutions they can go to for free. However, they aren't allowed in whenever they are under the influence. If they ask for it, they can get help to "get dry". It's easy to say 'Can't they take care of them', but they have to show some initiative. They also have places to get food, to shower, to get safe syringes and such. Trust me, we do try.
Norway, one of richest countries in the world, cant they take care of these guys?

It's a question of priorities. And as in most countries, people with addictions to the "wrong" drugs get treated very, very poorly.
