In Stefan's case, you're basically saying that rehab is supposed to cure you forever. Stefan is an addict who turns off his emotions because he needs to justify murder to himself and can't handle the guilt. He has relapses and unfortunately Lexie had to rehab him several times. The torture isn't meant to cure who you are when you have your emotions off, it's meant to get you to turn your emotions on so you can look at the world with a conscience and build from there.

Tl:dr, Lexie's methods were not for Ripperism, they were for getting emotions to return so you have something to work with. After the torture I think it's pretty clear that Lexie went softer -- Stefan's diary mentioned that he spent decades after that in a depression during which Lexie's method involved trying to make him laugh.
