I can't tell you whether you are right or wrong.
I can tell you I went to rehab and AA/CA when I first got sober and I think it helped me. The rehab kept me from drinking and drugging for a month. The support of people in AA/CA that were going through the same thing also helped. However, after a while, the emphasis on a higher power in AA/CA created alot of internal conflict in me and I was better off not going.
If you haven't tried to stop on your own yet, maybe try stopping on your own and, if you cannot, then go to rehab. You might also look at SMART.
Good luck.
