"Directing people toward the best approach for them is one of the 
most basic forms of medical care. We have generally failed at 
applying thoughtful triage like this to addiction in this country. 
Twelve-step programs aren't appropriate for most, but there is no 
question that they can be helpful to the right sort of person. The 
better we are able to understand why and how this happens, the better 
we can provide more effective care across the board. That will mean 
ending the practice of routinely referring people to 12-step programs."

Lance Dodes, The Sober Truth: Debunking the Bad Science Behind the 
12-Step Programs and the Rehab Industry, Beacon, 2014  p 133
