Rehabs often claim amazing results, but the reality is less than spectacular.

According to Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_addiction
“The effectiveness of alcoholism treatments varies widely. When considering the effectiveness of treatment options, one must consider the success rate based on those who enter a program, not just those who complete it. Since completion of a program is the qualification for success, success among those who complete a program is generally near 100%. It is also important to consider not just the rate of those reaching treatment goals but the rate of those relapsing. Results should also be compared to the roughly 5% rate at which people will quit on their own. A year after completing a rehab program, about a third of alcoholics are sober, an additional 40 percent are substantially improved but still drink heavily on occasion, and a quarter have completely relapsed.”

That estimate is based on information from Dr. Mark Willenbring of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, and in my opinion, optomistic.

” About 80 percent of addiction patients will relapse, studies suggest, and long-term success rates for treatment are estimated at 10-30 percent.
“The therapeutic community claims a 30 percent success rate, but they only count people who complete the program,” noted Joseph A. Califano Jr., of the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University. “Seventy to eighty percent drop out in three to six months.” ”

90-95% of rehabs in the US are 12step-based. The rest are Scientology or religion-based.

The 12step treatment method has been shown to have about a 5% success rate, the same as no treatment at all:

Although the success rate is the same, AA harms more people than no treatment:
1) Dr. Brandsma found that A.A. increased the rate of binge drinking, and
2) Dr. Ditman found that A.A. increased the rate of rearrests for public drunkenness, and
3) Dr. Walsh found that “free A.A.” made later hospitalization more expensive, and
4) Doctors Orford and Edwards found that having a doctor talk to the patient for just one hour was just as effective as a whole year of A.A.-based treatment.
5) Dr. George E. Vaillant, the A.A. Trustee, found that A.A. treatment was completely ineffective, and raised the death rate in alcoholics. No other way of treating alcoholics produced such a high death rate as did Alcoholics Anonymous.

Lyrics from ‘Let it Go’ by the Randy Rogers Band.

Earlier this year, former OSU Basketball coach, Sean Sutton, son of legendary basketball coach, Eddie Sutton, was arrested under charges of illegally buying and consuming prescription drugs without a prescription. Sean was addicted to Oxycontin and other painkillers he had been prescribed earlier, and was now finally coming to terms with his addicted. A low point in his life, for sure. Sean went into an intensive drug rehab program in Utah for 115 days, 25 more days than he was required to do, and after coming to terms with his own addicted, began to become a light for other members of the program. Today was Sean Sutton’s hearing at the court here in Stillwater, he plead guilty, addressing the media in a special press conference just before the hearing, taking full blame and responsibility, hiding nothing. Sean was given 3 years probation, fines, and community service. The world needs more folks who understand the weight of situations, who understand when they have done wrong. To truly apologize and mean it, Sean Sutton didn’t hide at all today, he took the criticism and showed a lot of strength. Heres to wishing a great recovery for Sean Sutton, his family of his wife and 3 kids.

I shot these for the paper on campus today, it was crazy, about 8 other photographers from newspapers state wide, and news crews and reporters from every news station here in Oklahoma were here, and I was right in the thick of it. I tried to mix it up a bit, I didn’t have quite the equipment some of the other photogs had, all I had on me was my 50mm. Did my best though I think…
