Explanation

The statement mentions treating addicts by 're-establishing their lost ties' and requiring 'continuous personal attention.' This directly implies that addiction and strained relationships are connected (Assumption II) and that addicts respond better to personal attention (Assumption I). Both assumptions are necessary for the treatment approach described to make sense.
