Something that is done at the county level in at least some counties in Nebraska is a really in-depth drug court for non-violent offenders. Instead of just sending people to jail it gives addicts the opportunity to complete a rehab program in place of a prison sentence. This is likely one of the reasons that Nebraska has such a low rate of overdose deaths as compared to other states. My father played a huge role in developing the drug rehab program in one of the largest counties and that program saved so many lives. It was amazing being out in public with him throughout my teen years. People would come up to him out of nowhere to give him a hug, almost in tears, thanking him for saving their life. after they would walk away he would tell my family about how they were arrested at some point in the past for drug related issues and that he helped them through the program. Many of those people were able to reunite with family, maintain jobs, and take control of their life back.
If you want to really help these people, this seems to be one of the best ways to do it. I got to see first hand how successful it was.
