Treatment Doesn't Work

Drug and Alcohol Addiction Treatment Research

Like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), treatment professionals claim success in the face of contradicting evidence. AA groupers boast, "Rarely have we seen a person fail who has thoroughly followed our path." The truth is people rarely succeed when following the path of those in AA. As stated previously, 95% of the existing treatment centers in the United States adhere to the 12 Step philosophies. Not surprisingly, the success rate of treatment is no different from the success rate of AA: 3%.

While treatment professionals boast "treatment works," the question is what exactly is working? Of course treatments alternative counterpart and co-conspirator, Alcoholics Anonymous, leads with misleading and outright dishonest assurance that its program "Works if you Work it." Groupers, the General Service Office of AA, and AA World Services conveniently claim success without any foundation. In reality, the statement is a complete contradiction to empirical evidence. Both AA and treatment are outright failures when held to any standard but their own. But, apparently, it's a matter of semantics. It comes down to who is using the word "works."

The general public would believe that these programs "working" would be a testament to helping people with substance abuse issues get sober. In other words, the people who join the groups can get well. But, after arriving in treatment or AA with the hopes of finding a way out of the misery individuals have created, those in need are told that they can never get well, there is no cure. So, what exactly is working? What kind of program are our loved ones attending?

The knowledge that "Treatment Doesn't Work" is not an idea exclusive to those outside of the existing treatment paradigm. Those within it, and promoting it, are also well aware of treatment's ineptitude and damage. Enoch Gordis, Director of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, stated the following, "In the case of alcoholism, our whole treatment system, with its innumerable therapies, armies of therapists, large and expensive programs, endless conferences, innovation and public relations activities is founded on hunch not evidence, and not science...To determine whether treatment accomplishes anything, we have to know how similar patients who have not received the treatment fare. Perhaps untreated patients do just as well. This would mean that the treatment does not influence outcomes at all. Perhaps treated patients do worse: that is perhaps treatment is really harmful in unexpected ways so that patients who are not treated get better more often. Perhaps even if the treatment is helpful, a little bit of it is just as useful as a lot of it."  site: http://www.soberforever.net/currenttreatdoesnt.cfm
