"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."
