Yes I think they can be used to heal with the --force args, a friend of mine broke an addiction to porn&fapping by having a realization while high on cannabis, he wasn't a regular user, read about set-and-setting looking to seat and stare himself in the mirror, the realization that was like watching his life passing in one second, helped to make him comprehend how much energy he was wasting, energy that might be used to be a better husband and father. No more porn have been seen since years... the fap is made... but by the hands of his wife.
