"Saw a medical stat the other day that only 6% of meth users who try to rehab are successful."

did you get a timeline for that stat? Any addiction has about the same success rate (smoking, coffee, coke, etc). A fun trick rehab centers like to toss out there is that 'we get a 80 percent success rate' and neglect to tell folks that the that success rate was for a small amount of time such as a week or 2.

"Any addiction has about the same success rate"

I beg to differ. There's plenty of recovering alcoholics and reformed nicotine junkies. I've never met a recovered meth addict and only know 2 recovered crack addicts from the scores I've met.
