Comment Glaring unsupported assumption in the article (Score 1) 330
This article makes a HUGE - assumption - that 12-steps programs, and AA, work, and work specifically better than other programs. That is highly questionable and I don't believe there's been any conclusive evidence either way.
Of course, there's the question of whether AA works versus just going to some sort of social program... the article doesn't differentiate much, but it's a big question.
Our knowledge of addictions and ability to treat them is in its infancy and is sadly not a priority for many... this article just proves that.
