Clear Legal Sanctions Can Get Users Off Drugs

A far better alternative to forcing drug treatment on unwilling offenders is to enforce the rule against using heroin and other “hard” illegal drugs with frequent drug testing and the promise of a short jail stay after every missed or positive drug test. Time after time (in the District of Columbia Drug Court experiment, SWIFT in Texas, HOPE in Hawaii, WISP in Washington, 24/7 Sobriety for drunk drivers in South Dakota), programs using swift, certain and fair (S.C.F.) sanctions have far outperformed treatment mandates in reducing drug consumption, repeat offending and the time offenders spend behind bars.
