I am with you on decriminalization of drug addicts. That is why I donate from time to time to freeross.org. AA and all the other 12 step programs have been helping drunks and addicts for decades. It's totally voluntary, and cost nothing! Of course the state can force some to go by court order, but again that is the state intervening. It's pretty anarchistic too. You can never get kicked out of AA, always you are welcomed back as long as you are not violent to others. Long live AA and anarchy !!
