I spoke to somebody who was a heroin and crack addict at one stage and who was able to turn it around. They said they were not able to get treatment in Ireland because at the time they could only get methadone. Basically, they went abroad and were able to deal with their problem. There is a drug that they spoke about. I am going to pronounce it wrong. Is it Subutex or something?
