Then you end up like California. Homeless housing stands half-empty while tent towns spring up the other side of the street. Why? because according to the people in tent towns "they tried to take my freedom to do drugs away".

No.
Arresting them will just cost us all more money in the long run. They'll be put into a system designed around recidivism. They don't try and help these people in US prisons, they want the cheap labor.
If you think the solution to drug use is to put them in prison where drugs are just as common, then you're part of the reason we've ended up in this situation.

yes, its better to build pseudo-jails where you can help them by rehabilitation.
Either way the California way its the worst one cause they spend the most and get almost nothing.
