Mine did for me, and I'm clean now. Opiate-replacement therapy is one of the few proven ways to truly help addicts reintegrate back into society. I can somewhat understand the moral argument against it, but the facts don't really support it; I am quite biased, however, as I'd be dead or in jail without it.

Sure, but I wasn't really talking about those sort of programs, more the unfettered access to any drug you like that was the context of my response.
