My feeling when it comes to addiction is that it becomes a comforting or at least comfortable thing. Yes. The article talks about changing environments, and I absolutely agree A huge part of the inpatient treatment program had to do with an extended aftercare and halfway-house plan for up to two years. Since my addiction occurred mostly out West, being back "home" had much the same effect, so I was able to skip the half-way house (but of course not the aftercare) The state-of-the-art in addiction care completely recognizes the absolute importance in removing addicts from their environments.
