Maybe to deal with the issue of getting enough free drug rehab programs could be dealt with by a change of model, and by earlier interception of the problem. Is there a way to effectively treat addiction while the person is still in their home? Where does the concept of "Rock Bottom" come from? There is no mention of rock bottom is any of the twelve steps. No physician would ever say, we cannot treat that man for heart disease. We have to wait until he is 200 pound overweight, and he has to have at least 3 heart attacks. He is only 150 pounds overweight. He has only had 2 heart attacks.

There has to be some way to deal with and intercept addiction earlier. Just because we have not found a cost effective way to stop addiction at a very early stage does not mean it is not there. We have many effective self help programs for at home. There must be a way to combine the power of the internet and workbooks to effective find affordable solutions to all the different types of addiction. This is going to be especially true with addiction to pornography on the internet. This will be a problem where people are really going to isolate and be filled with shame and embarrassment. The constant flow of e-mail we get seeking free drug rehab will not go away. The government does not have the money. We have to get creative to solve this.
