I work on the fringes of a Methadone clinic so I've learned much as an outsider not knowing much about opiate addiction treatment. It strikes me as a no-win situation. Methadone is looked at as one addiction replacing another, and yet, these people (by the time they enter treatment) are out of options. It's mind-boggling how big this problem is and how complicated (and elusive) the solution is (apart from avoiding it in the first place.)
