I realize this is from 2009 but I just came across it. To me this makes little to no sense as a treatment for addiction. You are not treating their heroin addiction, you are still giving them heroin. Now if they wanted to state that it causes harm reduction then that’s a different thing. If this is an acceptable treatment for heroin addicts then why not give cocaine addicts legal cocaine or meth addicts legal meth? In my opinion this is one of the craziest things I have heard, especially when there are meds like sub and methadone available. This is just taking away the worry to find their next fix and essentially making heroin use easier.
