If AA works for some people, fine, but it appears to be a method to shoehorn religion or spirituality into place where the addiction was. The real problem is that it also it appears that much of the reputation that 12-step programs enjoy is more mythology than fact, and the courts and doctors should recognize that.
Addiction becomes a highly complex issue when you delve into the motivations behind it, and there is no one-size-fits-all cure that everyone should be pointed to. It needs to be done on a case by case basis and treatment needs to be tailored to the addict if we want it to truly be effective.
