After seeing all the heartless comments here about "not solving the problem" here's the thing. The problem can only get solved with people that are ALIVE, I'm pretty sure someone that dies from an overdose isn't going to be able to agree to treatment. Unless you all have some other way to revive them, then you can share it with all of us.

My motto about harm reduction is “a dead addict never gets clean.”

Most people who get addicted weren't having a great, happy, and stress-free life. If you don't want people addicted to drugs, you have to address the root causes that drive them to it. To ignore those and then punish them for having an unhealthy response to an unhealthy situation is just cruel.
