Interestingly, opiate replacement therapy where heroin is the drug they choose to get you off heroin has a higher success rate than any other choice. I was lucky, Suboxone worked wonders for me, despite 6 years of addiction. I'm now fully recovered (and no long-lasting effects, such a curious side considering how horrendously addictive it was for myself; most other drugs that are as addictive cause pretty bad physical side effects from use alone) three years later and have been a productive member of society for those three years. All thanks to the government treating heroin addicts pretty well, as long as it's not the police whom are the first to find out about your problem anyway.
