I did a quick search trying to get an idea of recidivism rates for opioid treatment programs. I was not able to find anything very precise. A lot of blah, blah, blah about MAT (Medication Assisted Treatment using methadone or buprenorphine), support systems, etc. etc. but not much mention of personal responsibility (except in comments left by addicts themselves...they know the truth). I've never been addicted to opioids but I am an alcoholic. I went through treatment program once (it was that or lose my job), including attending AA meetings, and I quit drinking...for a while. Then I started up again. When I finally quit it was because I decided I was tired of messing up my life and it was quite clear what the problem was...my drinking. So, when I actually quit it was because of that mindset, not because of any treatment program. I just quit on my own, no AA, no support groups, just me. Was it easy? No. Did I succeed? Yes. I haven't had a drink in 17 years now.
