Well... it isn't kicking per se, but have you heard of buprenorphine maintenance treatment? It is similiar to methadone maintenace, except you don't have to go to a clinic everyday to pick up your dose - you get the buprenorphine from a doctor. Most ex-junkies who have tried buprenorphine maintenance have had really good results - buprenorphine keeps you from getting sick, eliminates cravings, and you can't get high on it (it is a mixed agonist/antagonist). It is generally considered far superior to methadone programs.
