Not everyone has your apparent heroic willpower while under the grasp of an opioid addiction.
Don't know much about it but don't methadone clinics try to do just that?
EDIT: Guess that doesn't help the Russians though.
Wiki said:In Russia, methadone treatment is illegal. Health officials there are not convinced of the treatment's efficacy. Instead, doctors encourage immediate abstinence from drug use, rather than the gradual process that methadone substitution therapy entails. Patients are often given sedatives and painkillers to cope with withdrawal symptoms.
