I'm sure this has been brought up before, but I was wondering how liberatarians and objectists handle the impact of drugs like meth in a "community". I put community in quotes because there's another thread about wether there is such a think as community, which I don't want to get into here. Also, I don't want this to be a discussion about pot, pot does not have the same potential for wide spread damage as meth.

Let's just say you have agreed to live in a town, which has a meth issue. The adicts are cooking at home, houses have exploded, damaging near by houses, leaving toxic waste sites in their wake. Petty crime is rampart, adicts breaking into houses to steal stuff to sell for their habit. The adicts have no money, they can't pay for the clean up or the damage to other houses.
What would be acceptable solutions to this problem? Currently, there is jail, government clean up of the site, substance abuse treatment, restrictions on the sale of critical chemical for the production of meth. I'm very curious how libertarians and objectists would
balance the rights of the various actors in the case.
