Yes, a person can recover from alcoholism through various alcohol addiction treatment programs incorporated into the three basic steps of intervention, detoxification, and rehabilitation. The effectiveness of the recovery also depends on caring and understanding, and effective counseling.
Intervention is part of the process especially when an alcoholic will not admit he or she has a drinking problem and needs to be confronted with the effects and impending disasters of excessive drinking. Alcoholics must first acknowledge and admit their addiction, and very few are able to do this without intervention.
Detoxification is the process wherein the alcoholic is subjected to a gradual withdrawal of alcohol from his life.
Rehabilitation includes a combination of support modes and alcoholism detoxification treatments to maintain the alcoholic's abstinence from alcohol.
