According to an article in Christian Today, a study by Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research states faith-based treatment for alcoholism gets better results than non-faith-based rehab programs.

In fact, according to the study, those who attend a faith-based version of Alcoholics Anonymous meetings stand a 30-percent chance of staying sober after 2 years than those in other programs using only cognitive-behavioral therapy.
The spiritual component of the AA programs is seen to be the sticking point by many who attend these meetings as many people since do not buy into the concept of being powerless and giving one's life and will over to a higher power.

Though many scientists have been skeptical in the past, many are now being persuaded by the findings in the study that link a spiritual component with recovery rate.
