Despite overdose deaths hovering around all-time highs, VC's remain largely uninterested. While there are 3 "treatments" for opioid addiction: methadone, buprenorphine, and naltrexone, they come with their own set of side affects and a stigma which many in recovery won't endorse or embrace as being truly in "recovery" or "clean".
