[Therapeutic prescription of heroin to drug addicts].
Heroin therapeutic prescription to opiate drug addicts through a study of the literature on this topic is valued. Some doubts are put forward with the regard to the scientific quality of the studies, disposable nowdays, on the basis of the experiences of United Kingdom and Switzerland. We are expecting longer and finer studies to answer the question whether this kind of intervention is really useful.
