If a drug user (legal or otherwise) wants to clean up, they should
do it on their own dime.

That's reasonable for those who are able. But it is society's
misguided prohibitions that are the root of most of the problems,
because they make the drugs unaffordable.

Even if drugs were "affordable"*, users wanting to clean up should do so
with their own funds. They're able to find the money for the vice, they
should be able to find the willpower, funds, etc. to kick the habit they
formed of their own free will. This is not to say privately funded or
volunteer organzations shouldn't or wouldn't exist to help with this task. I
just don't think it's a fair or wise expense of tax money.

* One can argue they're "affordable" now since there is still a significant
demand despite the inflated prices of the black market.
