Does rehab work for the long term addict?

[thisisnothow]

Dsis has been a drug addict for approx 20 years, very seriously for a good 10. Her main drug is crack but she has done everything including heroin. She did rehab last year for 5 months but relapsed as soon as she came out. She has just gone into a different rehab centre and seems to have settled really well. She is supposed to be there for 3 months. We are desperately hoping this is the breakthrough she needs but can't help but be sceptical. Is it possible to reform after all this time and after being such a serious addict?

Yes it’s possible - provided she wants to stay clean and sober.
