It saved my life.

It's hard to explain in a few words, but basically it satisfies the physical urge to use opiates but it doesn't make you high like methadone or other drugs would. So you deal with sobriety in the early stages of your detox but you don't have to deal with the intense pains of opiate withdrawals.

Plus I am fairly certain that it's a harmless drug, at least for those already opiate dependent.
