> The development of addiction in the individual is a multifactorial phenomenon that includes a spectrum of contributions of both the biological and the psychological.

The treatment of addiction in the individual might best be of a multimodal approach that addresses and accounts for the spectrum of contributions of the biological, psychological, spiritual, and environmental unique to the development of addiction in that individual.

Treatment in a group setting is facilitated by the recognition that the dynamics of addiction overlap greatly between individuals and that these commonalities offer an opportunity to treat a great many people at once, many of whom would reject individual treatment. It becomes necessary, therefore, to offer as many tools as possible, not all of which are appropriate for each individual. Just as in other aspects of adult life, one must make decisions along the way as to which offerings are worth keeping and which are best rejected.

For many people, the spiritual being is integrated as tightly to the whole of human consciousness as is the intellectual. It is vulnerable and can be damaged. Spirituality can be the single most powerful drive for change. It therefore becomes an important goal for some to nurture their spiritual nature in order that the whole being be brought into a state of sobriety.

Is there a God?

I think that to even feel the need to ask this question betrays man's spiritual nature. I'll leave it to a higher power to provide the answer.
