The statistics can be misleading for sure. I found this comprehensive breakdown at https://unitedrecoveryproject.com/rehab-blog/what-is-the-success-rate-of-drug-and-alcohol-rehabs/ that explains how different factors affect outcomes - things like the type of addiction, length of treatment, and whether someone has family support. What surprised me was learning that even a 30-40% success rate is actually considered good in this field, because addiction is such a complex disease. The key seems to be finding a program that matches the individual's specific needs rather than just looking at overall success percentages
