If this was applied correctly I think it might be able to work quite well. Take the TV show Survivor... but only for addicts. You could call it Survivor Rehab or something like that. I really think getting people back to the very basic elements and teaching them basic survival skills could have a powerful impact on many addicts. Sure it wouldn't be perfect... far from it. But whatever success rates current rehabs have... it doesn't seem very good. I think a radically new approach like this is worth a shot. Not to mention I think a lot of people would watch it if it was a TV show.
