This. A non-alcoholic friend of mine got popped for drunk driving, and part of his sentence was counseling for alcoholism. At one point they asked him if he'd ever done cocaine, he foolishly answered yes, and they sent him to a similar program for coke.

On the other hand, since he had to pay the cost it's not like anybody who needed treatment got shorted as a result.




It also educates him about addiction which helps disseminate correct information back to the public (hopefully).
