I think most people don't really want to stop at all but go into treatment to justify their existance as an addict. To say to themselves that they truly do have a problem, that they are "hardcore", about 80% of the addicts I have met in the last two years don't want to get clean or even moderate their use.... most just want to keep numb and not deal w/ their problems and face reality sober. Kromus- 10yr opiate addict, clean for 7 weeks, never going back now that I have come this fa away from it.
