I don't think it is a good idea to reduce the supply over time. It may make sense in some cases, but some addicts are better of by having a constant supply. Pharmaceutical grade opioids are pretty safe. Far safer than legal drugs like tobacco or alcohol.

Also fine, and probably more practical. There is a certain moralizing part of society that has to have the taper on the horizon.
