Detoxification is not a cure for opiate addiction

The prospects for increased revenues for C.I.T.A. are great... provided they can displace the current
status-quo opiate addiction treatment system..... methadone

Very good points. Detox is a necessary but minor step in helping someone overcome opiate addiction. Most of the treatment is psychological, after the person has gone through detox, and the vast majority remit. Furthermore, Methadone treatment, while inadequate, is MUCH cheaper than this new procedure. Add to that that most heroin addicts don't have much money, and its hard to imagine how this venture could be profitable.
