In my work, we treat a lot of court remands of violent offenders and substance abusers. We're a condition of their paroles.
Even though the treatment is required, it isn't all that effective if they just walk through it. They have to buy in.
With the abusers I have contact with, I ask them to list the things in their life that are worse since they started using. They usually come up with about a half dozen issues.
Then, I ask what's better. I usually just get a shrug. Until today. The guy looked up at me and replied, "Well, I finally learned the metric system."
