Dear Friends,
Did you know that 9 out of 10 people resolve their addictions? I’m sure you’ve never heard that statistic, but it’s true. And only about 1 in 10 of that group ever go to treatment or recovery meetings.
Furthermore, those who go into treatment and enter the recovery world tend to struggle longer, have higher rates of dangerous binge usage, and lower rates of success overall. These statistics are based on the largest studies done on addiction to date, The National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions I, II, and III (NESARC).
In a research paper published in 2013, Dr. Gene Heyman breaks down the data saying that the probability that problematic substance users will resolve their problem for various substances is as follows: - 90% for alcohol
- 97% for marijuana
- 99% for cocaine
For heroin, the estimates are as high as 96% based on a landmark longitudinal study of Vietnam vets. You would think this information would be great news and the addiction treatment community would be shouting it from the rooftops. And you would think that the research focus would shift to learning exactly how all those people resolved their problems, but it hasn’t. Why? The short answer, addiction treatment is a $40 Billion dollar business in this country, that continues to grow based on the outdated, disproven disease theory of addiction.
If people are suffering from a “progressive, incurable disease” called addiction, then they are in continuous need of lifelong addiction treatment. Thankfully the vast majority of people do grow weary of ongoing treatment and 12 step meetings, and most of those people resolve their problems as well, but only after spending tens of thousands of dollars and half their lives stuck in what we’ve come to know as the addiction, treatment, and recovery trap. You or your loved one don’t have to fall into this trap. Creators of The Freedom Model for Addictions have spent more than three decades figuring out how all those people stopped their addictions and found happiness and success in life. They have dedicated their lives to building an addiction help model that is backed by sound research and rooted in truth and positive motivation. They have helped more than 20,000 people move on from their addictions over the course of the last 31 years.
