Sending people to rehab because it makes more money than prisons - mind explodes.

Even if that's true (which it probably is), I still support it because addicts should not be in prison for victimless crimes

Addicts give financial incentive for crimes that start by being funded by people like them.

As if that's not already happening?

It's true in some states. Florida has a real issue with for-profit facilities that get funded by the government. It's so out of hand, there are people paid to round up addicts and drop them off at the facility. Facility has no incentive to treat, because once they're released, they can get rounded up again, and the government will pay them again.
