Religious Craziness Sends Man Back to Jail
On 8/28/13 5:35 PM, wrote: I have not found any reliable study that says any significant number of substance abusers come out of rehab, therapy or any or any other program with a 10 year success rate. There are a few people selling rehab who say they have amazing success rates but they are selling something, not doing research. ------------------------------- Unfortunately I think you are correct. I did a lot of research on this subject a year ago when we were funding the cost of private rehab for someone. As he neared the end of the actual rehab program the facility started really pushing the sober house phase which they also happened to offer. By that time I was armed to the teeth with current statistical data on long term success rates of the overall programs and got into a fairly heated debate with one of the facility administrators. I realized she was just doing her job but I felt she was over emphasizing their claims of success rates. I've forgotten the exact numbers but the long term success rate is dismally low. We ended up doing something else to help get him through the next 6 months of supervised "existence" while he pulled his life back together. So far, so good, but I am not fooling myself into thinking he is "cured". Might be, but statistically the chances are low. One thing that definitely helps (I think) is his continued participation in meetings and willingness to openly discuss his addiction/recovery. |
