Will someone with alcohol dependency be refused a liver transplant?

If untreated: Those with alcoholic liver failure (cirrhosis), usually have to demonstrate the condition is resolved over time. Discuss the particular requirements with your liver transplant team.

Liver transplant: Exclusively if you can stop, demonstrate sobriety with complete abstinence for six months and complete intensive outpatient therapy. Ultimately, all transplant programs have a listing committee that oversees this process.

Sobriety required: I agree with previous answers. If still dependant, will not be considered until alcohol free for at least 6 months minimum. Each center has their own criteria for consideration for listing for transplantation.
