Am I not doing that? I'm sooo confused again! Why do people get so steamed up when a person asks questions? I'm not poking into anyone's sex life.
If I can rephrase for clarity now and get rid of extraneous stuff, here's all I was asking:
- Does anyone know of any non-anecdotal evidence that inpatient rehab is more successful than free peer support-based programs for helping alcoholics/addicts in general achieve sobriety for a long term (say, 1 year)?
- Do people think there any particular kinds of addiction or addicts who really need or are likely to profit inpatient rehab, and why? When is inpatient the best option?
Honestly, do y'all think I'm just trying to be provocative?
