Yeah ... but until the ones in my family care about themselves at all .... then their problem should not be your problem or mine.
I would really hope that we can all agree that we can do absolutely nothing to help an addict that does not want to be helped. Can waste a ton of money trying, though.

I would even be for giving addicts one shot at excellent, high quality rehab. After that, you are on your own.
Many have no desire to clean up (like my brother) but submit to rehab due to family pressures. Once there, they just go through the motions, get drugs from the other people there, or just quit.
We have no problem penalizing potential organ transplant recipients for doing damage to their bodies, such as alcoholics getting liver transplants.
Becoming an addict is 100 percent the result of bad decisions the vast majority of the time. I have seen it first hand with family members and employees.
