The biggest reason many treatment programs are not very effective is because they don't treat the mental aspect of stuttering (well enough). When they underlying feelings of anxiety, shame, frustration and helplessness are not treated well, then the inevitable relapse will hit much harder. I hope your program includes this and doesn't just teach techniques and tricks to reduce/control stuttering.
