So controlled dosing isn't considered healthier than using street drugs of unknown purity or formulation? Being able to offer treatment and healthy support could be a step toward treatment?

Possibly, but that is not the point of the potential law. They don't propose to offer treatment, just medical intervention if someone overdoses.
