The government should set up free bupenorpine centers.

The government should set up free bupenorpine centers. This generic drug should be made easily available to addicts. I am so tired of hearing about heroin death stories. We can debate what's the best treatment, or why people do drugs. The government should pay doctors to administer this drug to addicts. A years supply? If it's lost, or stolen they will be forced to go to treatment centers? Oh, yea--one more time; the drug should be offered free of charge, and addicts shouldn't have to jump through hoops in order to get it. You can get the dose down to 1-2 mg/day without feeling much discomfort. (Right now the government makes doctors take a class in order to prescribe it. Doctor's can only gave 100 patients. Most Doctors--will drag the patient in for office visits--why? For money of course? Plus, they are ticked off they needed to take that reduculios class on this drug.(I can't imagine, even the D- graduate, having a hard time grasping the mechanism, and dosage of this drug? It's just not a complicated drug? Especially in small dosages? Sorry, about the rant; just tired if hearing about deaths from heroin! Especially, when I know their are addicts that want help.
