I've never been. But I've seen people who recover after rehab, and many that do not. It seems to me that rehab is just a beginning, an important step, but long term recovery requires more, and I can't emphasize that enough. More doesn't mean being in rehab for the rest of your life, but after rehab there is still a lot to learn, maybe even more than what you learned in rehab. You can learn more here. There is plenty of experience here, but to apply what you learn is something you do on your own. Being on your own requires a lot of productive and meaningful self direction. And that is what separates success from failure. We can help, but you do the fixing.
