Essentially yes. As I've said in other posts about these drugs, they require a huge amount of dedication and willingness to grapple with your eating habits in a sustainable long term way; which if you can do, you don't need the shots. These have a use, but they're essentially a crash/fad diet in shot form with bonus side effects.
That said, they're nowhere near as destructive as oxi but are useless to the majority of people who will pay for it.
Just like getting off other addictive stuff like drugs, tobacco, and alcohol, just that the addiction works through other methods.
