"A pilot program in Brighton and Hove, England will distribute free heroin to addicts in a bid to cut crime and addiction, The Argus reported. The U.K.'s National Health Service is sponsoring the program, which would cost between $20,000 and $30,000 per user annually. Addicts would be allowed to inject themselves with government-provided heroin under supervision, similar to a "safe-injection" site established in Vancouver, Canada. They also would receive doses of methadone to take home with them at night. Outcomes among the addicts taking part in the program will be compared to those of 10 patients receiving methadone only."
