When I was a parole officer and one of my parolees begin to use (meaning that parole would be revoked), I was sometimes able to secure inpatient treatment as opposed to prison.
This meant the parolee would endure a lengthy bus ride, packed with strangers. They would have many miles and hours in which to change their mind.
I absolutely supported their choice to use before getting on that bus.
