I kind of agree with this quote from the article (even though the article slants against this viewpoint): ultimately I should be able to replicate your findings and you should be able to replicate my findings, otherwise it’s not science, it’s bullshit." I absolutely, 100% support searching for alternative methods to help people who are drowning and suffering in addiction, but if a method doesn't work, there's no point in following it.

...except "method doesn't work" really just means, "generally doesn't work for people who are classified as having the same problem as you", and when all the other approaches that are classified as working for that group are, you start to consider the possibility that you are an outlier and some of these other options might work. It's a desperate move, but given the high failure rates and low understanding we have of the problem, I wouldn't categorically say there is "no point in following it".

  Sure, if you find something that works for you, then good job, do it.
