Question by destiny n: Are alcohol treatment programs really effective?
One of our relatives recently visited us. Since he has a bar in the city, he can’t help but discuss things about alcoholic beverages. He even told my dad that alcohol treatments aren’t really true. “Claims that alcoholism can be cured are simply lies,” he said. Is he correct? ‘Coz I’ve also heard that my classmate’s dad underwent alcohol treatment but had a relapse not long after.

Most individuals will relapse, the treatment cannot be short term, but include long term treatment measures. Treatment for your relative most likely will not work as he is set in the viewpoint that it is worthless and will not work. He is basically telling everyone he has no desire to change, and therefore without extreme measures happening, he won’t. In order for treatment to work the client has to have the desire to change their behavior.

Alcoholism can’t be cured. If you are an alcoholic, you do not have the ability to choose to stop at one drink. Your body will always have a craving for alcohol. You will always need a drink.

What alcohol treatment programs try to do is to resist that craving and avoid taking that first drink. The purpose is to teach you that you can’t stop with just one drink so you can’t take that first drink. It also helps in recognizing the choice you make that increase the exposure to alcohol and make it harder to resist that first drink.

Obviously, some programs work better than others. More importantly, different techniques fit different people better. Finally, relapse is part of any addiction. The question is how quickly can the addict get back to sobriety.
