The success has nothing to do with the treatment.

They unravel the myths and misconceptions that the movie perpetuates about addiction and recovery. The hosts argue that the treatment industry often spreads misleading information that can be more harmful than helpful. They challenge the widely accepted disease model of addiction and critique the effectiveness of 12-step programs.

The episode is a call to rethink traditional recovery methods and to consider alternative approaches that focus on personal responsibility and empowerment.
