Heroin addicts seeking medical heroin?

Heroin

Yes, the title is true.  In the United Kingdom they are using heroin to help with drug addiction for heroin.  This in it’s own right makes absolutely no sense.

Drug addiction treatment centers are firmly against this method.  There is no replacement for a drug. You must get help before it takes over your entire life.

Heroin is also used as a maintenance drug in the treatment of heroin addicts. Though this is somewhat controversial among proponents of a zero tolerance drug policy it has proven superior to methadone in improving the social and health situation of addicts.
