According to this post , this picture above shows how a man is addicted to drugs and he is showing signs of how addicted he was and unable to use his medication, the picture illustrate that 'Addiction Treatment Program is not forced to people and its their will to know their health status and what's good for them about their health status so forcing people on. addiction program is their will not anyone's will.

I have an experience to share about 'addiction of people will'.. I work in a shelter home where Addiction is commonly what they does and treatment is being offered to them but it is their will to go for the medication cause it is helpful for them so their 'BRAIN AND BODY' will assimilate  to the Medication.. working in a shelter home gave me the impression on how people got into addiction and how they should be on medication to be able to get their self and be able to do well in the community but some individual doesn't want to be part of the treatment that's why you see them on the street looking 'unkept' so it shows they don't want treatment and it shouldn't be forced to them and only encourage them to be part of the treatment cause it can only change their life and their attitude with the way they think and then way the behave.

Compulsory Addiction treatment is being forced to people in Canada in different forms but it's their will to go for it and it shouldn't be forced on to people. 

According to this post 

Compulsory addiction treatment does exist in Canada in a number of different forms. People can be formally mandated to a treatment program as an alternative to going to jail or as a condition of parole or probation. People can also be compelled to get help in order to keep their jobs, their children, their social assistance benefits, and so on. Where the data are available in Canada, the statistics show that around 1 in 5 people attending services for addiction are required to be there. At this point, it has become apparent that the right question is not whether or not mandated treatment works, but under what circumstances might it work and how? And under what circumstances does it become yet another negative experience with the system, leading to further marginalization and drug-related harms?

Another important issue is that personal motivation and other life circumstances play a role in recovery, and this is true whether or not the person is required to be there. Many people who are court-mandated report low motivation to attend treatment, but not all. Many of those who are not court-mandated report low motivation and would not describe themselves as “voluntary.”  Comparing people who do and do not have a court mandate is opportunistic research, but it misses the point if we are interested in knowing whether addiction services are effective when they are forced versus voluntary.

There is no doubt that some people mandated to treatment have been helped. But it is far from a panacea. Even with a variety of strategies in place to compel people into programs, the most severely affected people are still falling through the cracks.

Medicine can perhaps learn from the recovery world, where a distinction is increasingly made between a one-time return to drug use, a “slip” or “lapse,” and a return to the heavy and compulsive use pattern of an individual’s active addiction—the more stereotypical understanding of relapse. The distinction is meant to acknowledge that a person’s resolve to recover may even be strengthened by such lapses and that they need not be catastrophic for the individual’s recovery...

Another deleterious effect of equating treatment success with abstinence and drug use with treatment failure is that some people with SUDs are unready to give up substances completely. In fact, this is one of the main reasons people who could benefit from addiction treatment do not seek it. Although it may not be ideal or optimal, treating an opioid or methamphetamine use disorder even while a person continues to use cannabis or alcohol would be a net individual and public health benefit. 

Explanation:'addiction treatments is peoples will to do so while on Goggle Trends its shows how 'addiction treatment' 75%, so while I compared to addiction care which was low to 25% so it shows that people shouldn't be forced cause its their will to do so.
