Yes, the benefits that an addiction treatment program provides far outweighs the costs it entails. For every addict treated, there will be less violence as well as property crimes, court and criminal costs, prison expenses, healthcare utilization, emergency room visits, lost child support, child abuse and neglect, reduced productivity, foster care and welfare costs, and unemployment. The individual who has been treated for his addiction will also be more productive and beneficial to society.
Along with everything the first respondent said, how much is your life worth? Addiction ruins lives and kills. If a treatment program works, whatever it costs is cheap when compared to the value of your life.
