"evidence based" is more appropriate term for a rehab center. NA/AA aren't meant to treat any one individual case, they're meant for people to vent and better themselves.

Addiction is both physical and mental, unlike cancer which is purely physical, and if faith could be weaponized properly to fight it, so be it.

And anyhow, I attended a few meetings and all the discussions were all about personal life troubles due to addiction or otherwise, and people asking and offering help.

In big cities it's very hard because of the variety of religions of people attending, it becomes very awkward to even try and push any one religious talk.
