A SIS does not indulge the addiction or make it more convenient and comfortable. It simply reduces instances of the most severe consequences.
SIS provide a clean and safe place to indulge one's addiction. That, by definition, means indulging the addition and making it more comfortable to use.

Are you arguing that an SIS increases the number of something? It does not provide drugs, only clean needles and monitoring for overdose.
It is hard to discuss this with you because you appear to have no understanding of why it is so hard to help people with addictions. It is not simply a question of physical withdrawal from a substance. Addiction is a complex psychological problem where addicts delude themselves into believing they can function while using their drug of choice. Any action that it makes easier/safer/convenient will feed the denial impulse and potentially delay the date when an addict breaks through their denial and seeks treatment.
