And there is the denial - people need to be "rehabilitated" not "treated" - Rehabilitated makes is sound like this is the undeserving poor, the able bodied who are not working through moral failures of their own ( think Cromwell ).
Treating the mental illness and substance abuse at the core of the problem is just too expensive. Easier to find a place to let them rot out of sight of the rest of us.
