Why do people relapse so often if medical intervention works?

A doctor can set 1000 broken legs. Can they cure 1000 addicts?

well the goal of treating addiction is generally not to 'cure' it but to 'manage' it. If you can come up with a way of systematically helping populations of people manage their addictions without using money, I am all ears.
