Yes, but that may not make a difference to an active alcoholic/addict at the moment. The idea that it has to be spoken to be effective, is that once the active alcoholic comes to the realization himself, is when it makes the difference. It is the whole reason that interventions are created in the method and meticulousness that they are.
From what I've encountered hearing in the rooms, up until that moment, it doesn't matter at all. It just gets filed under, "I'll take the poison and hope you die."
