How do we decide on the right approach?

I was asked the question today whilst doing an interview for Radio 4 about the effectiveness of my approach to alcohol. I answered with the utmost honesty in saying I don't know how effective my approach is but I can also say that prescribed formulae for dealing with alcoholism don't necessarily work either.

We cannot take a one size fits all approach to addiction or problem drinking. It is individuals who drink and we must use the psychology of learning to overcome individual problems. Each person needs to be treated equally and differently depending on their circumstances.
