Getting help in overcoming addictions is a high priority. There is a general consensus among the medical and scientific communities that an addict is never totally cured. They are detoxified and then given some tools that will hopefully allow them to resist the temptation to backslide. The addict will rely on these tools for the rest of their life.

This is the thinking behind the Alcoholics Anonymous 12-Step program and is the foundation of almost every therapy offered to recovering addicts. You should read and understand the 12-Step program thoroughly in order to help your friend realize that while a great struggle is ahead, the ultimate goal, attaining freedom from addiction is well worth that struggle and it can only be achieved by taking it One Day At A Time as they tread the road to freedom.
