Yes. Except before homelessness, the wealthy consume drugs at far higher rates than poor people. A wealthy person has a drug habit and can just ride through it without losing housing. If you take a homeless drug addict and give them a billion dollars, they would just be another billionaire with a ketamine habit. This is why it’s absurd and abusive to demand people get clean before you provide them housing.

People don’t only get into drugs because they’re already homeless.
