It's virtually impossible to find out the actual success (or failure) rate of a recovery program. Data from AA indicates that its success rate is about 5% at the end of one year. That's actually less than the spontaneous remission (natural cure) rate from attending no program.
Programs largely present estimates as facts, look at short-term rather than long-term success, define success in terms that benefit themselves, and generally use deceptive or dishonest figures.
It's a case of "buyer beware."
You can research the success rate of substance abuse recovery programs by looking at studies published in reputable journals, checking reports from government agencies like SAMHSA, and seeking information from treatment centers themselves. Success rates can vary based on the type of program, the population being served, and the metrics used to measure success.
