People who quit/change do it because they want to. I didn't want to, and didn't think I had a problem. I assume it really depends on the place and the group of people. I don't think myself or anyone else there was helped much if at all. Was basically just a lot of angry, resistant, bored folks being preached at.
I've since realized I had/have a problem and adjusted my behaviors and life. Change comes from within and you have to be committed to it. It takes constant effort and will. I think the only successful rehab facilities are filled with people who want to be there. They're mostly a scam. John Oliver, Last Week Tonight did a pretty good episode on what a scam rehab facilities are a while ago. From my experience all his points seemed pretty accurate.
Also, anything associated with parole/probation systems is about the same thing. No one wants to be there. Including the underpaid person running the thing. They help no one but the corporation running it. Everyone is being scammed.
