People often question whether 30 day type drug alcohol inpatient treatment programs really work. They question them because the rate of relapse and recidivism is so high. The reason so many people relapse even after completing a long term inpatient treatment program is not due to it not being effective. No, the reason people go back out there and drink or use drugs because successful recovery requires a tremendous commitment to changing, everything. Recovery is a process and it is hard work. If at first you don’t succeed, simply learn from the experience and start again.
