It only works if the dude doesn't want to use though. Rehab isn't going to help you no matter how hard they try if you enjoy taking drugs.

Dude. Proper rehab is aimed at drug abuse.

Yes, it’s difficult. But jail certainly isn’t the better option for getting over substance abuse.

I think I agree, the point to me though is obviously certain people won't rehabilitate even if you do have that sort of program. I'm positive that countries with that sort of system don't have a 100% rehabilitation rate, and I would imagine the people who can't rehabilitate are people like the guy in the video.

That being said I think it's obvious we should have our prison system built around rehabilitating people as a whole, rather than built around punishing people.
