Narconon
Antigen:
DARE is only useless at it's stated goal; to teach school children to reject recreational drugs. But I don't think that was ever the real objective. If we wanted to teach kids, or adults for that matter, about drugs we'd send in a pharmacist or a nurse or a med student or someone else w/ some claim to expertise about drugs. Instead, we send in armed law enforcement officers to cultivate snitches, condition the kids and the faculty and, by extension, the rest of us to being under surveilance all the time. IMO, DARE has been a smashing success at achieving that objective.
Remember that Betty Sembler, cofounder of Straight, Inc., has been on the BOD of DARE, America and DARE, International for decades. They may be crazy, but they ain't dumb. They don't throw money and influence away on programs and projects that fail to meet their objectives.
It's obnoxious to ask law enforcement to follow the law. That's insulting to every cop.

Let's say a loved one is addicted to drugs and/or alcohol to the extent that they can't function, they hurt others, and they can't parent. What is a good way to get help? I know zip about Narconon but I always thought it must be agood AA-type program. Lately, I've read some posts that dispute this. (I have no clue.) So, what is a good way to help an unfunctioning addict? Or what is a good way for them to get help themselves?

My mother is dying right now because of her addicition/compulsion to Cigarettes.
The truth in my opinion is that you just gotta submit to the fact that it is out of your control. Someone who wants to compulsively use a harmfull substance cannot not be coerced to stop.
So how do you help them or get them to help themselves? sometimes you just can't. Accept it. The world isn't under your control nor do people always behave as you wish they would.
Love them, tell them it hurts to watch them self destruct. Don't enable them. Hope. Wish. Just don't lock them up in coerced treatment because it might push them right over the edge.
just my opinion.
