- this is about those who refuse or ignore the help of supportive services despite the fact they are severely mentally ill and need meds- or are substance /alchohol dependant....

no matter how much you may offer them a free home or counseling there is ( at least in NY ) nothing that can MAKE them take it when clearly they need it and aside from involuntarily making them subject to being detained or controlling them after they are medically stabilized ...there is little to MAKE them continue to adhere to meds or stay where a home is offered if they decide to not take meds and not take the bed you offer them...so the solution for them isnt supportive housing since they refuse to accept or acknowledge that they should be subject to services

this situation is described over and over by psychiatric and medical staff at hospitals and halfway houses ...
