For my numerous impostors I thank you for your efforts to defame and discredit me. Your actions have failed miserably and you have energized the Anti-AA community. In the spewing of your venom you have only proven my points as well as the still valid points of other Anti-AA You Tubers correct. You have proven that AA and groups like it are religious hate organizations that will do and say anything to suppress criticism. Anything but address the criticism. Over the last month we have seen effort after effort by AA proponents to discredit or defame those who speak against the AA/ 12step cult and they have failed each time. In your efforts to discredit us you have only created a multi-national Anti-AA juggernaut; that generations of future AA cult members will have to work through for the group as a whole to survive. Gone is the ability to excuse failed logic and a program that does not work away. It is your own hate and poor performance in discourse that is now killing off your organization. Make no mistake; the days of AA and 12 step rule over the treatment industry are numbered. This was the very reason why there was a Tradition 10 in case you did not notice. It is the hate and unwillingness to address the issues from AA proponents that have made this all possible. No amount of AA or 12 step apologetics can repair this damage. It is this outside issue that will now unravel the lies, deceptions, fabrications, and hostility that comes from AA and 12 step proponents. Video Rating: 4 / 5

Question by alisa a: How does addiction treatment for criminals work?
What are the goals?
Best answer:
Answer by ayla w The main goal would be to help the individual in such a way that he would not turn to drugs to offend the law again. This will be able to lower the crime rate. Treatment should continue even after the offender has been discharged from jail. This is because he would be coming back to the same environment that got him started in doing drugs. Treatment will be able to keep him from relapsing. Treatments within the criminal justice system can also cut drug abuse in half.
