San Francisco has spent nearly $20 million on its "Managed Alcohol Program," which provides free alcohol for homeless alcoholics. Tom Wolf, recovery advocate director at West Coast Initiatives Foundation for Drug Policy Solutions, says the city should put its efforts into promoting recovery, not maintaining people's addictions. Wolf discusses why he believes the program only helps people maintain their addiction.
