My experience in rehab suggests that the answer lies in the psychological causes of addiction: why is an addict self-medicating? What is the pain they are trying to dull? Do they have an eating disorder, anxiety or trauma? How can we work through their denial? It is only by patiently working with their internal issues, which are often hidden, that we can help them to identify -and understand - the root of their problems. Only at that point can we help them to find a way back to normality, a way that should result in a lifetime of abstinence.
