Agreed. Tough love isn’t an effective approach for families-“jail saved my life” is like tough love for society-harsh costly and unlikely to succeed. Jails are part of the treatment system- they should not be the first line.
Reflecting on "jail saved my life" when substance use disorders severe.
Know it's true for some. But TV version where ppl go to jail, finally learn lesson & decide to change can't be common.
See too much of opposite - ppl locked up over & over b/c addiction doesn't go away. 1/4
