Treating the body, mind, spirit

I don't think that a rehab can work unless it is theraputic to all three areas. Of course the body should be cleansed of old drugs and residues that keep a person from recovering. But many programs never do this. They actually give more drugs. Of course a person should be able to experience counseling that provides relief from past bad deeds that resulted in guilt. Cravings, guilt and depression are present for every addict. A rehab program that doesn't touch these areas, that just provides substitute medications, or that tries to teach a person to tough it out or talk it out with a group may miss these therapies. But there, there are successes in all these types of programs so some people find what they need there.
