True, except that judges should be giving a preference for rehab. Science-based rehab, rather than 12-step or other rehab based on superstition.
I have no problem how many steps or if it even includes supernaturalism as long as it can be demonstrated honestly that it works better than other methods or at least better than no rehab at all. After all I would like to see people get better. The problem with many rehab programs is few to none of them have been tested in a double blind test against a placebo, or no treatment at all, let alone other programs. What little data there is suggests that most rehab programs are actually worse than no rehab at all.
