An essential part of the recovery process involves detoxing from the alcohol and rewiring the brain's pathways to restore normal functioning. This takes time and, often, medical intervention. It is vital that a person with a dual diagnosis find a rehab that addresses both issues simultaneously.
No alcohol addiction is a disease and a person never completely loses the urge. That's why it's imperative for anyone who is suffering from alcoholism to seek meetings and a sponsor.
