Seeing as they prescribe opioids to known heroin addicts, I doubt it will help.

Prescription opioids with slow pharmacokinetics are actually a safe and effective treatment for heroin addiction. I don't see how that's a problem. If anything, it's a step towards a solution.

I'm not talking about suboxone or whatever you are referring to. I am talking about prescribing oxycodone to people who tell there doctor directly that they are a recovering heroin addict.
