Interventions can work. And if the person relapses, at least everyone knows what is what and the damage to others is less. AA is a good program and is very good for the rest of the family. It really helped me as a kid dealing with dependency in the family.
I think they also add power to the people doing it. Yes we can't make this person stop but we can tell him/her what we see and that we want them to stop as a group. After that you have done all there is to do and you can remove yourself feeling better.
