Someone told me that most of the people who go to rehab end up using drugs againis that true?

Yes: Recidivism rates in alcohol/drug abuse can be as high as 90%. The problems are many, and the separation from a drug using social network helps for,that time, but the desire to use often is stronger than the desire to stay straight. Addiction means loss,of control among other things. The 12 step program in AA has been successful by invoking higher powers and a clean buddy to assist. Are you ready?
