Treatment for morbid obesity (except bariatric surgery) is less than 10% successful. It’s a waste of money at the cost of personal freedom. Addiction treatment in general, has a very low success rate.
“Addiction treatment in general, has a very low success rate.”
Allot depends on the recovery center and the duration of treatment. Origins Recovery Centers have about a 30% success rate, they run 30 to 90 day programs depending on the individual. The biggest cause of failure lies in the individual being treated, many are forced into recovery and that is rarely successful.
Honestly, though, if I wouldn’t be thrilled to have to pay to support people who won’t work because they eat too much, drink too much alcohol, or take too many drugs.
It’s their personal choice, so let them pay for it.
Sorry, still working on the first coffee
When someone willing enslaves themselves to the government, it should be a surprise that government is going to exert control over you. It’s what masters do.
That’s the next step in Obamacare when they get single payer,it’s only fair you know
I remember when judges started sentencing people to attend A.A. meetings. A complete waste of everybody's time.
You can’t force anybody to do something and be successful. I went through an AA designed recovery program and went from 2 gallons of whisky a week to zero. I will give them all the credit for pulling that one off, I couldn’t do it by myself. The kicker was I went to them on my own, nobody wanted to quit drinking more than I did. That’s the key you have to want to quit!
