No one has had a good approach for opioid addiction since the first cases of morphine addiction a century ago.

Banning opiate use results in deaths, restricting prescriptions moves addicts to the black market, the status quo results in more addicts.

Portugal seems to have found a decent solution: addicts can get easy access to legitimate supply, but non-addicts can't. Seems to have dramatically improved the situation there.

Swiss here, it does for us. Most if not all heroin addicts I know had jobs and a normal life, no other opiods ever been a widespread problem here
