Most people think recovery is just about willpower. If that were true, why do 50% of people in long-term programs leave before graduation?

In my latest case study, I explored the qualitative reasons behind these high dropout rates. It’s not just about a lack of desire to get sober. It’s often about a mismatch between the program’s structure and the client’s internal readiness. My research, grounded in Ajzen’s theory of planned behavior, suggests that a client’s intention to engage in recovery is a conscious behavior that can be nurtured. Understanding the “why” behind the dropout rate is the first step toward building a more successful treatment model.
