Depends on what treatment option he/she uses. Alcoholics and addicts stuff their feelings for as long as the drink/drug. All these come out when the alcohol/drug stops. With the help of a support group such as AA/NA life can become a joyous, fullfilling experience. Without help it can become a living hell for the addict/alcoholic and everone around them.

When an alcoholic stops drinking, they may experience withdrawal symptoms such as tremors, anxiety, irritability, insomnia, and nausea. They may also struggle with cravings and finding ways to cope without alcohol. Seeking support from healthcare professionals or a support group can be beneficial in managing these challenges.

Does the family need treatment when an alcoholic goes into rehab?

Yes. Alcoholism is a family disease because everyone in the family is affected in some way by the actions of the alcoholic. Children may feel responsible because in their immature minds, they believe if they were better children, the alcoholic would not drink. Spouses may inadvertently promote the drinking without understanding how they could be doing it. Also, when an alcoholic goes into treatment the only thing that changes is the alcoholic. If the family dynamics don't change, the alcoholic is returning to the same toxic environment. While the family is not the cause of the drinking, a slippery slope exists giving the alcoholic an "excuse" to go back to drinking. It is important for the family to remember that they did not cause the alcoholic to drink, they cannot control the drinking and they cannot stop the alcoholic from drinking.
