They have those nowadays. Usually a Suboxone program.
For today's addicts you have a variety of options to get help.
Say 5 or even 10 years ago the difference is night and day.
Here in Houston we have had a huge problem with the pain clinics/pill mills - while Tampa was the main hub for oxycontin prescriptions, Houston mirrored it with tons of pain clinics prescribing hydrocodone, carisoprodol (soma), and xanax. It was to the point where you could go to two, three clinics a day and be prescribed 120 lorcets, 90 soma, and 60 xanax as long as you had the money for the office visit and prescription. In the past few years they've tightened the restrictions on prescribing and shut-down a lot of the clinics, but they're still out there and prices for office visits - cash only, no insurance - have gone way up. A lot of the clinics operating now will prescribe Tylenol 4 for pain and still give soma, but a lot of people I know hooked on the shit have now switched to heroin or suboxone - a few who are into the "soma coma" just take the Tylenol 4's in place of the hydrocodone and these people are just lost, I don't know how many friends I've cut out of my life who choose to zombify themselves on this crap.
What gets me are the suboxone docs, this a big money-maker here now that there are so many addicts - most office visits will be @ $500 for the initial visit, they prescribe suboxone and adderall, sometimes they'll throw a benzo in for good measure - they'll tell you the adderall will give you the energy/boost the pain pills did so you can get through the day - it is a total racket.
I've been on suboxone for some time now, I love it and hate it. I got hooked on hydrocodone after injuring myself in a freak accident while prepping for a powerlfting meet in 2000 and developed severe sciatica. I hated the way hydrocodone made me feel at first but it took the pain away and after a while, the feeling switched from making me feel muddy, to euphoria and a really good boost of energy...and I fell in love with it. Fast-forward to 2011, my little brother had passed-away, I moved back to Houston, was partying a lot, and the pills were so easily obtained that my intake went WAY up, up to the point where I was taking 25 lorcets a day and I was worried about my liver due to all of the acetaminophen. The suboxone takes all of the cravings away and will get you off of pain pills, but you're going to withdrawal once you're on it and you're basically trading one addiction for another. If I could go back and do one thing, I'd never touch opiates.
