Are Alcohol Treatment Programs Really Effective?

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.

Answer by julvrug
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.

Need Alcohol Treatment, Any Reccomendations on Facilities? Affordable?

Question by treatment seeker: Need alcohol treatment, Any reccomendations on facilities? Affordable?

Best answer:

Answer by Eva
Your state will provide a free recovery program. Look into it. I do not know where you are from or I would tell you how.

Answer by deb m
Alcoholics Anonymous is world wide and completely free of charge. They have only one requirement and that is that you are 24 hours sober when you attend your first meeting, though I do not believe they will turn their backs on you if you arrive before the 24 hours are up.
Please look in your local white or yellow pages for the AA nearest you, if you can not find a listing, either call 411 or go on-line. If you are not capable of these things please ask a good friend to help you.
Good Luck, and God Bless
