Drug addicts don't buy much stuff. If it's some great conspiracy to push drug addicts to buy more pharmaceuticals, you want to sell them high end antidepressents like xanax, not cheap pain pills and fent.

So either the masterminds of your brilliant conspiracy are idiots, or it's not a brilliant conspiracy and just plain old drug trafficking.

Most drug addicts of the fent variety don't want treatment because treatment means no longer indulging in their drug of choice. It's the same reason why they tend to be fighty when you fix their OD via narcan - you "ruined" their high.

I recommend actually spending some time with the drug addicts likely living nearby. Bring them a few sandwiches. Ask if they would seek care and if not, why not.
