A supervised injection clinic is not for weaning people off heroin. It's to keep them from dying while doing it.
You don't overcome any addiction by suddenly being given unfettered access to the addictive substance.
Are you seriously going to tell me that the state supplying you with higher quality liquor than you were drinking would have been the mechanism to aid you in giving up alcohol?
