China has a long history with mandatory drug rehabilitation. Mao Zedong's government is the one that eradicated both production and consumption of opium during 1950s China. It used unrestrained repression to implement social reform. Ten million addicts were forced to receive compulsory treatment. The dealers were executed. New crops were also planted in the opium-producing zones. Restricted opium production moved southwards to the Golden Triangle.

Naltrexone, a long-acting opioid antagonist, has few side effects. It is often prescribed for outpatient medical conditions. Naltrexone blocks opiates and alcohol's euphoric effect. Naltrexone can reduce the chance of relapse by around 36% over the first three-months. It is however far less effective in helping patients keep abstinence or retaining them within the drug-treatment system. The average retention rate for naltrexone is 12% after 90 days. For buprenorphine, it is 57% after 90 days. Average 61% for methadone after 90 days.
