The scientists recently discovered their work on new drug addiction treatment. The article on The New York Times (A Drug to End Addiction? Scientists Are Working on It.) states that the new experimental vaccine is a solution: "This vaccine would be intended principally for men and women already hooked on heroin or related opioids like Oxycodone and fentanyl — people who would be at risk of death should they detoxify and then relapse, as all too many do." Also, according to Alex M. Azar II, the fact that patients must achieve total abstinence is a common misconception. He proved that medication-assisted treatment works and is effective. Here is an article discussed the medications which are typically used to assist people to fight addiction (https://addictionresource.com/treatment/drug-addiction-medications/).
Despite this vaccine proved its usefulness, it cannot prevent craving for opioids as well as totally eliminate the chance of relapse. At the same time, this medication can prevent overdose, not letting the addicts get high, and save million lives.
