Brain cells, damaged for whatever reasons, do not regenerate. However, the brain has the capacity to re-route its neural networks to make up for lost functions if the damage is not too severe.

Most alcoholics who get into recovery early and stick with it do eventually regain most of their mental function. Beyond a certain point, however, irreversible brain damage (known as "wet brain") occurs, and full functioning can never be regained.
