They should certainly seize alchohol from anyone who is upset or depressed. They should also search the medicine cabinet to make sure no prescription drugs are contra-indicated by their current emotional state.
Since being reported by neighbors is an unreliable, and therefore unfair, means of alerting the police they should inspect all homes on a random basis.
Perhaps instead of just restricting bad things, the state should also actively provide "pick me up" things. Such as chemical mood enhancers, hearty praise, and perhaps the love a good (wo)man, as appropriate.
This would increase employment and reduce the elicit drug and sex trades.
And its for the kids.
