Abstract
Involuntary interventions for substance use disorders are less effective and potentially more harmful than voluntary treatment, and involuntary centers often serve as venues for abuse. Scaling up voluntary, evidence-based, low-barrier treatment options might invalidate the perceived necessity of involuntary interventions, and could go a long way toward reducing overdose risk.
