Actually I suppose I don't massively agree with abstinence as the only way. I do agree that services need to be good and substitute prescribing shouldn't be the only choice, or the end unless that's the person's choice.No, you agree with many others. I don't agree with his view that abstinence-based 12 step focused services are the way. I think it excludes a lot of people, doesn't take into account all the other ways of recovery and is based on his experience which is always a problem when you're promoting recovery.
