A controversial and hypothetical drug which might help addicts would be a companion drug that somehow prevented the development of tolerance. I know nothing about the brain so that's probably laughably impossible, but if it existed it could cheapen the cost of a habit and lead to fewer ODs because they would have no need to chase their tolerance to feel the same effects. It would certainly have other side effects because someone could essentially just remain high 24/7 (in the extreme case).
