Regarding tolerance to opioids, a drug recently became available that is touted by some as being capable of preventing it. The drug is called memantine (Namenda), and is currently indicated for the treatment of Alzheimers Dementia. I don't have much of a feel as to how effective it might be, but it has been reported to prevent and even reverse the tolerance to the analgesic effects of morphine in mice.
