People who are dependent on drug were viewed as morally extremely weak and addiction was observed as a fault in an individual’s character. Moreover, the users were punished with public beatings, whippings, fines under the influence of this model. In some of the British towns, people were also forced to walk only wearing beer barrels and this was a walk of shame. One of the most common treatments for people with drug addiction was spiritual direction. Another form of punishment was jail sentences and as time progressed drug users were admitted to mental hospitals as there was no place in jails.
