Hate to break it to you and your friend but while kratom may help with the detox it won't help with the actual addiction, which has a chemical dependency side and usually a psychological side.

Naltrexone is quite effective for treating addiction, research the Sinclair Method. However he may still need counselling.

A significant percentage of alcoholics do benefit from kratom. I'm not knocking Nal, any tool is a good tool, but Nal has a success rate of what, 30% end up 5 years sober? I don't think any studies have been done yet but I think kratom is certainly as effective, possibly more.
