Treatment of Heroin addiction with prescription of a dug like Methadone is very, very cheap. It depends on the setting, the logistics, how much control you want to have, what the clinics are like, and also if you have any kind of supportive therapy, the amount of that will of course increase costs, but the basic cost of the chemical Methadone is very, low.
