The biggest part of the problem is that this society dosnt really care about the addicts..The methadone program is a disgrace,just another addiction but the addicts become so depressed that they dont want to do any thing.It destroys them physically and mentally.The plus as far as the Gt are concerned is that its cheap.To prescribe and to administer.Prescribing heroin would be very expemnsive to administer but if we want this society to be here in ten years time ,we have no option.
The people like Gargoyle and Leprechaun who would just let addicts kill themselves may have some kind of point, but would you want to live in a society like that..Ake.
