Do Alcohol Interventions Work?

Interventions can be an effective way to motivate someone with an alcohol use disorder to seek treatment. Research has shown that interventions can increase the likelihood that a person will enter treatment and achieve and maintain sobriety. However, it is important to note that there is no one-size-fits-all approach, and the success of an intervention can depend on various factors, including the specific circumstances, the individual’s willingness to participate in treatment, and the quality of the treatment program. It is also important for the family or loved ones of the person struggling with alcohol use to receive support and education throughout the intervention and treatment process.
