In switzerland Dr. Zullino keeps glass bottles full of white powser in a safein a locked room of his office. Patients show up everyday and receive their “treatment” in small doses handed thorugh a small window. They then gather around a table while a nurse watches and they shoot up. The doses are measured to satisfy their craving but not enough to give them a big high. But this program is provided to addicts whom other therapies have failed. After they shoot up they wait a few minutes and then most of them get up and leave, some go back to work.
This program is critisized by the US and UN, but is also being adopted by other countries because its proven to reduce crime and improve the health and daily lives of addicts. This program began 14 years ago  to eliminate scenes of large groups of drug users shoting up openly in parks. But is now aming to help patients leaern how to function in society.  One third of the patietns start abstinence programs, and one third change to methadone treatment. The patients also receive additional treatment such as therapy with a psychiatrist and counseling by social workers. Crimes commited by heroin addicts dropped 60% since this program has started.
I still don’t know how I’d feel about this program running in america. I would definitely like the benefits of crime going down and addicts getting some help but I also don’t think its really right to basically provide the addicts legally with this extremely dangerous drug!

They already do this program in America.. maybe not exactly this way it's administered through pills and higher doses.

They do it through methadone right?

 Interesting treatment concept. Though I don't completely agree with the technique, I guess it is better to do it under proper motorization than none I guess. However, I believe it should be considered as an treatment option without criticism.
