The government should subsidize the cost of nicotine and caffeine products to people with substance abuse problems who are now in recovery.
They still cost money, but now they are cheaper.
Like the cost of an 8 oz glass of Tropicana orange juice per day.
And then when people are scared to enter recovery, and they are like “oh no but now I am going to spend so much money on nicotine and caffeine,” the rehab worker or whoever will hand them the special card that they give the cashier who will ring up their future nicotine and caffeine purchases at a reduced price.
Similarly, there should be a grant you can apply to if you are bipolar and stable for a while. The grant will either pay for a tattoo removal or debt forgiveness, to subsidize the cost of the poor choices you made while you were manic.
