Abstract
Many writers on the subject of the treatment of addictions have suggested that for treatment to be efficacious, a period of detention legally enforced is necessary, and it is perhaps strange that a country which tends to regard personal failings and idiosyncrasies with a kindly eye has been probably the first to provide a method of enforcing it without recourse to a legal sentence.Keywords
