One major component of Hope not Handcuffs not mentioned is that if someone is arrested for doing a crime but wants treatment at that time they will get the help and not be charged.

District Attorney Meagan Galligan said she is working with local police agencies to try and defer people to treatment when charged with most misdemeanor drug possession offences.

So after you do the crime then you can get help and not goto jail.

Instead of doing the crime why can't you just go get help first?
