![As Anita Szigeti argues, coercion [or incarceration] should not be mistaken for care.
As governments across Canada expand forced treatment approaches for substance use, important questions about transparency, accountability, and incarceration are being pushed to the forefront.
When limited beds, staff, and treatment spaces are increasingly directed toward involuntary detention and forced care, many seeking voluntary supports are left behind.
Expanding coercive systems without first ensuring meaningful access to voluntary treatment risks deepening an already overwhelmed system, while failing the very people reaching out for care.
Provinces are increasingly investing in coercive models tied to detention, confinement, and institutional control — including within correctional environments.
These conversations matter because prison populations are disproportionately made up of marginalized and vulnerable people, including those living with mental health and substance use challenges. Expanding involuntary treatment without meaningful public scrutiny risks increasing institutionalization while failing to address the underlying lack of accessible, voluntary, community-based care.](https://instagram.ftlv23-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t51.82787-15/726850208_17970698343078645_2720142266350123286_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&_nc_cat=104&_nc_map=urlgen_bucketless&ccb=7-5&_nc_sid=18de74&efg=eyJlZmdfdGFnIjoiQ0FST1VTRUxfSVRFTS5iZXN0X2ltYWdlX3VybGdlbi5DMyJ9&_nc_ohc=HikvYNpcGgQQ7kNvwEj6zDh&_nc_oc=AdoH7vNYL22r5zzvmPDe61hB29YYcylsDNGVmmfIZUYO97pRQPlwHzsrD9jDoPKSVZc&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=instagram.ftlv23-1.fna&edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&_nc_gid=Dnz7ZHWH5MLDPg2fs0yKZA&_nc_tpa=Q5bMBQKsw3pp6cMSWKVhOOQ8PYQNIyx44FlkZhttZkXj3iag-dmbG_0H1hTCnrDbI2mrQGv1B1oFR6vF&oh=00_AQTRt58bvmscGiP_qOnvv5nbVoxSWGzZbCl1t2jHjp7BWg&oe=6AEFF421)
