Part of the difficulty is that the person with the addiction/issues needs to want to be cured more than to give up their current life.  There are many people who have a high likelihood of spending some time in accommodation courtesy of the Queen.  They know the outcome and really hate the idea of gaol.  They have many opportunities to enter rehab facilities, attend counselling etc. that aren't taken up - why?  They're not ready to give up the lifestyle that they lead, for some reason.  You can only give them so many opportunities...
