Answer by brynn v
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.
