Is an Alcohol Addiction Intervention Supposed to Stop Alcoholism?
No. An intervention will not be able to treat your loved one’s disease. It is solely designed to get your loved one to an alcohol rehab equipped to provide the medical, psychological and emotional/spiritual help necessary to forge a solid foundation in recovery. Alcoholism is a disease. There is no cure but it does requires medical treatment for any lasting remission. For some, remission lasts a lifetime. The more effective and efficient the treatment, the more lasting will be the time without alcohol. This is not something that can be accomplished by an alcohol addiction intervention, however, an alcohol addiction intervention is the first step.
