No addiction can be "cured". It can be managed into remission, like diabetes.
There are medications that can manage alcohol dependence- naltrexone, acamprosate, and disulfiram (Antabuse) are all FDA-approved. Other meds can be used "off label" -that is, not for the purpose for which the FDA approved it, for example, topiramate. An Addiction Medicine specialist can help you decide how to go about this.

Absolutely! So hypnotherapy can be used
Medication can assist in the recovery process in some situations, but it needs to be coupled with additional support and treatment to truly be successful long term.
