Here are the questions The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism
most often receives about alcohol along with their answers. They provide
information to better understand the health consequences of alcohol abuse
and dependence (alcoholism). Consult your physician or health care provider if
you or a loved one has an alcohol problem.

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, one thing is clear, however: the longer a person abstains from
alcohol, the more likely he or she will be able to stay sober.
