TINKER AIR FORCE BASE — Does alcoholism treatment work?
Alcoholism treatment works for many people. But just like any chronic disease, there are varying levels of success when it comes to treatment. Some people stop drinking and remain sober. Others have long periods of sobriety with bouts of relapse. And still others cannot stop drinking for any length of time. With treatment, however, one-thing is clear: the longer a person abstains from alcohol, the more likely he or she will be able to stay sober.
