These rooms are about healthier drug use not helping them quit.
The stats for kicking injected drugs like heroin long term are very low even with a treatment program.
Maybe that's why the Danes are giving them somewhere safe to take it, rather than sending police around to chase them, they're spending less money giving them somewhere to safely do it, so A. the death rate goes down B. They get professional help, and aren't treated like criminals C. They're off the streets so they're no longer a burden and an eye sore to the rest of society.
