Answer by PJ
Addiction is addiction.
Also – the treatment people make money whether their treatment is effective or not. They don’t have to come up with a different plan for different addictions.
The court doesn’t care what kind of treatment you get – as long as you get treatment. Mostly rehab and treatment are ineffective.

US Backed CIA Afghan Puppet President Karzai ‘may have drug problem’
Karzai a heroin addict? NEW YORK – A former UN envoy to Afghanistan on Tuesday questioned the “mental stability” of Hamid Karzai and suggested the Afghan president may be using drugs. In an interview on msnbc’s “The Daily Rundown,” Peter Galbraith described Karzai as “off-balance” and “emotional.” Galbraith also called for President Barack Obama to vastly limit Karzais power to appoint officials within the war-torn country until he proves himself a reliable partner to the US “Hes prone to tirades. He can be very emotional, act impulsively. In fact, some of the palace insiders say that he has a certain fondness for some of Afghanistans most profitable exports,” said Galbraith, in an apparent reference to opium or heroin. When asked whether he meant Karzai has a substance abuse problem, Galbraith responded: “There are reports to that effect. But whatever the cause is, the reality is that he is — he can be very emotional.” Galbraith was interviewed via telecast from Norway. An e-mail to the Afghanistan Embassy in Washington requesting a response was not immediately returned. Galbraith was fired by the United Nations in September as the UN’s No. 2 official in Afghanistan after he openly accused his boss, Kai Eide, of concealing election fraud that benefited the campaign of the incumbent president. Eide angrily denied the accusation.
