#2 Years ago, a highly successful 3-drug technique which would get addicts of heroin quickly and keep a high percentage off for good. The first drug would put them into a coma for four days; the second would strip all remaining heroin out of their body; and the third would block the heroin receptors, preventing the effects of any new heroin. The third drug is administered monthly for a year, with counseling.

An estimated 1 in 1000 people who went through the procedure died, either due to pre-existing weakness or as a reaction to one of the drugs.

It was successfully tested in Europe. However, a strong and determined lobbying effort by the producers and distributors of methadone prevented even any testing to be done in the US. This is because methadone is extremely profitable as a government subsidized alternative addiction.

And though proven effective, Europe was also persuaded to discontinue efforts to develop, improve and use the 3-drug technique.
