It's not new.

In places where you can't legally prescribe low-risk opioids for depression, pain is sometimes used to induce natural (endogenous) opioid production.

As a treatment modality, it has less risk than ECT, making it worthwhile to try with patients that are nearly catatonic.

Using it against drug addiction seems a logical extension of that, probably motivated by the same legal hassles.

They used to use a paddle on inmates here, the kind with holes in. The inmates themselves said this was the most effective way to induce change. No one wanted a second time.

I guess it still beats spending a "lifetime" of dependancy on drugs or 12 step rooms.
