Briefly describe the system the British presently use in dealing with heroin addiction
What will be an ideal response?
Since the early 1900s, the British have viewed addiction as a medical problem. Thus, they have allowed physicians to prescribe heroin, while criminal penalties are applied for the illicit sale of opiates. They presently allow only specially licensed physicians to prescribe heroin (or cocaine) for the addict, but they tend to emphasize the use of oral methadone. Although most of these physicians are affiliated with special Drug Dependence Units, any physician can apply for a license.
