Depends entirely on the person on the other side of it. Generally speaking, and from my anecdotal experience, yes. Given enough time, the person will sober up or the high will end or the emotions will fade or they will 'feel heard enough' and the involved person can start thinking even just a bit more clearly again and be reasoned with.
But, as the Pineridge standoff last week shows, it's not always successful, no.
