I don't know of any drug programs that can legitimatel claim a high success rate. Most druggies are recidivists--whether because the allure is too much to resist or because their personalities/physiology are not geared to resist.
I've got some family members whose folks have spent thousands on clinics and programs and more thousands on defense attorneys without abating the problem.
Others just decided to quit and did without any program or treatment.
Think the success rate is about 2 in 30.
First you have to WANT to be clean. The choice is clear though, quit, die, or jail.

You are entirely correct. What's more...consider that if you have tax dollars involved, you're going to have government bureaucracy and civil servants involved. The possibilities are mind-boggling. It's a veritable ocean of unintended consequences.
