AVRT
appears to be radical, but it is only counter-cultural against the backdrop of the contemporary addiction recovery ecosystem that sprung up in the last 50 years or so, and especially since rivers of free federal cash allowed the addiction treatment industry to literally explode in the 1980's. People have been recovering along the lines of AVRT for thousands of years, however, and many still do so today. AVRT is not new, and even if Jack Trimpey hadn't put it down in writing, some people would still be figuring it out on their own here and there.
