Vancouver is providing prescription heroin through clinics to help addicts refrain from using street drugs that have resulted in overdoses.

Clinics in Vancouver tried giving heroin addicts methadone but it did not have the same effects as heroin does, and therefore did not work at controlling addictions.

Will Vancouver’s experiment work?

It is hard to say if this risky experience will work. Studies have been done in Europe that were decently effective. This experiment is going to help a majority of these people in the end. Although heroin is not good for you and not something people should be doing, many of these addicts have severe addictions that can only be treated with heroin. Treating the addictions in this manner is going to give them safe prescription heroin with clean needles and keep the addicts off street drugs. It should also begin to lower the crime rate in Vancouver.

Current Research Paper Status

I have found sources and I enjoy reading about this topic, but I am confused as to how I’m supposed to form a final paper with all these smaller assignments. Hopefully it will all begin to come together for me.
