Rejected petition Detox programmes for alcoholics are often not cost effective due to its high regression rate, except for those with genuine aversion towards alcohol

More details

Feelings of the pleasures of drinking alcohol (heavily, moderately or occasionally) would depend on one's motivation, triggers, settings, lifestyle, perception, cravings and aims. If a recovering alcoholic have a genuine aversion to alcohol in his or her own mind, than it is certain that he or she is no longer a recovering alcoholic but a recovered one. Otherwise, rehabilitation & detox programmes for alcoholics are often not cost effective due to its high regression rate.
