They fear getting picked up on warrants. They fear police finding out they're in treatment. This isn't because they fear treatment agencies will turn them in (because, they won't) it's because they fear reconnecting with family and friends or seeing old friends whom they've avoided will cause word to get to the police.
If they're sober and working a program, their life is much more predictable. If they're still using, they are random and harder to catch up with.
