If it's an opioid, then tolerance will occur, necessitating increasing dosages. I think what's unique about this is that the time release can't be overridden by crushing or cooking it. Addicts aren't interested in slow, steady, low-level opioid release. They want drugs that give them an immediate euphoric sensation. Oxycontin did this when crushed and, when they changed the formula to make it harder to crush, addicts started cooking it.
So, presumably, the developers believe the time release can't be overcome. Of course, where there's a will.
