Yes, informed consent is often missing from the addiction treatment/recovery ecosystem. In medicine, for example, while a doctor will recommend a certain course of action, they nevertheless have to also tell you what your other options are if they have knowledge of them. This is not the case with the addictions industry, though.
Some people have suggested that I over-promote RR/AVRT, but I honestly do not care one bit if people don't use it, I just want people to know that it exists. I do try to clarify what it is about, though, since I know from extensive personal experience that some people will either routinely and purposefully suppress information on its existence or misinform others about its nature.
