What percentage of alcoholics seek recovery?

Answer 1

Roughly 25%. That is not to say that they all succeed. The success rate is probably about one-quarter of that, at best.

The success rate of most programs is very low. Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) has a success rate of about 5% at the end of one year. The program with the highest independently-evaluated success rate is the non-profit St. Jude Program. It's long-term success rate has been documented and certified at 62%.

Answer 2

Estimates suggest that about 25-30% of people with alcohol use disorder seek treatment or enter recovery programs. However, it's important to note that this statistic can vary, and many individuals with alcohol use disorder may recover without seeking formal treatment.
