Alcohol addiction can’t be “cured,” but it can be successfully managed, and treatment can counteract the negative effects addiction has on the brain and enable people to regain control of their lives.1 According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), about 33% of people who receive treatment for alcohol use disorder (AUD), have no further symptoms 12 months later.6 Additional research monitoring individuals in long-term treatment shows most people who enter and remain in treatment stop consuming alcohol and see occupational, psychological, and social functioning improvements.7
