Don't allow people to die of overdoses or infections, just because AA gives them a faint hope of curing their addiction therefore if they don't follow it they deserve to die as you seem to think.
This tangent started because you rejected my argument that SIS prolong addiction because they enable addicts because it was a 'AA thing' and therefore not real. You later seemed to accept that the risk of enabling an addicts is real but felt it is worth the trade off if lives can be saved. The latter is a reasonable argument that I don't necessarily agree with.

My primary concern about SIS is they suck limited resources away from the programs that are really needed such as detox beds and recovery support services. If detox and support services were fully funded then I could see the value of SIS but as long as these services are underfunded SIS are a distraction that allow politicians to get away with under-funding recovery supports services because they are seen to be "doing something" even if that "something" is making the problem worse.
