Getting Jews off drugs:
the Jews no one talks about--the junkies, the alcoholics and the criminals. Rabbi Borovitz is spiritual head of Beit T'Shuvah (Hebrew for "House of Return"), the only in-patient rehab center in the country designed to serve Jewish addicts. As such, its core comprises 12-step principles in a Jewish spiritual context. ("The Rabbi Guides the Rehab." Heather Robinson. OpinionJournal. Mar. 12)

If the Rabbi is getting 62% recovery he is either:

1. A fraud
2. Selects his clients

Most rehabs claim 20% to 50% recovery.

When people start digging the number is usually around 5%. Now with no rehab the number is around 5%. i.e rehab is a scam.

There is a reason for this. As the DEA recently pointed out you cannot tell the legitimate pain patietnts from the addicts. Their behaviors re: drugs are identical. Could it be that addicts are in pain too? Just a kind not recognized by medicine? That is what I believe.

There is evidence out there to support my belief and I have written on it extensively.

Google - M. Simon drugs.

You can also find more by googling - PTSD addiction.

The reason for the low success rate is that pain memories decay slowly for some people. The B. Lutz study at the Max Plank Institute is indicative. There is also a genetics factor.
