Under what conditions should someone be forced to receive drug treatment?

Types

Answers

Government-mandated addiction treatment should be avoided to prevent potential political exploitation of such power, overriding individual autonomy in the process.

Individuals who commit crimes under the influence of drugs or in pursuit of obtaining drugs should be mandated to undergo drug treatment as their actions pose a threat to public safety, therefore their personal autonomy can be limited.
