Evidence is mixed, and it depends on what numbers you look at unfortunately. I've personally met at least one person that credited the program with kicking drinking. Unfortunately this doesn't really make it any better than a placebo effect (Which is better than nothing, I guess). And it doesn't cure my special hatred for AA (and AA type programs), especially as a court-ordered standard of care.
