Episode notes
Fit, Communication, Family Matter
- Rehab success depends on fit between client and program, not just program quality.

Families Also Need Support
- Families must get their own help alongside the addict's treatment.
- Without addressing family issues, recovery often fails as home environment remains unchanged.
