Sadly that is expected. For whatever reasons, whether it is their own demons, mental disease or addictions.
But someone very wise once told me that if you want to help--Help.
Don't attach so many conditions to the help that it is hard for someone to ask for it or even harder to live with the help you gave.
Do it purely and of your heart to anyone that asks.
I would love to see the buildings that sit unoccupied turned into housing for displaced people. I would love to see counselors and rehab AVAILABLE to those who ask--but not made mandatory so they won't ask.
We have the resources to help lift people up. Very sad we refuse to use them.
