Default Methadone Clients

As I travel around I find the supervision policy on methadone consumption is very different. In some towns there is virtually no supervision, and people take away large quantities of not only methadone, but diamorphine amps and other things as well. Do you think a national policy on this would be better?

I have known literally hundreds of addicts, and can think of one or two that have actually kicked methadone. Some PCT's seem to be willing to prescribe them other drugs alongside/instead of methadone, and some do not. Some welcome supervision, and some do not. It seems like a bit of a lottery to me.
