Your rant reads as if you have had or seen bad experiences of therapy (either that, or you've been reading too much Internet nonsense).

There are important biochemical and genetic components to addiction. Psychotherapy can't fix those, so criticising it for not being an effective cure is missing the point. If you want to argue your view more thoroughly, I suggest you take it to the DISCUSS! forum, as it will quickly get off-topic for here; but bring your hard evidence, because that forum is for serious debating.
