Tel Aviv municipality to distribute heroin to addicts
In lieu of methadone and other drug substitutes, Tel-Aviv Municipality to launch pilot study examining distribution of heroin to addicts who cannot be rehabilitated

http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3504368,00.html

"The social services division of the Tel Aviv Municipality has recently formulated a special program to distribute heroin to older addicts who despite having made numerous attempts at recovery have failed to remain clean.

Tel Aviv News reported Friday that the city's municipality has already drafted a position paper on this newly conceived program, highlighting both its strengths and possible flaws.

According to the municipal plan, the heroin will be distributed through carefully monitored clinics, which will also provide extensive medical and psychological care to the addicts they treat."
