It can definitely be improved. Usually if it is of long standing it doesnt go away but it can be managed. I would encourage your friend to seek therapy.
Stuttering is not curable at this time, but strategies and techniques are very effective at reducing and sometimes eliminating overt stuttering events. Direct speech therapy is recommended.
There are many forms of intervention that are helpful for people who stutter. I like to refer individuals to the stuttering foundation, as they provide a lot of great articles and support groups. Stuttering intervention is not a "one shoe fits all" but rather very individualized to every person who stutters. Here is the link to the Stuttering Foundation's page: https://www.stutteringhelp.org/adults
Unfortunately, there is no "fix" or cure for stuttering. With that said, there are strategies that can help control the behaviors associated with stuttering.
