Yes, there are indeed statistics that prove that persons who had undergone treatment for their addiction were better off than those who didn’t. The Federal Bureau of Prisons had conducted a survey of the outcomes of drug treatment programs among inmates who were already released and have completed the program. It was found that only 3.3% were likely to be rearrested during the first 6 months after they were released from jail as opposed to the 12.1% of inmates who didn’t get to receive treatment.
