Answer

Not in all situations. You would not be able to substitute it in a sentance like, "She can not go to the park because of rain".  Through in this context generally refers to a method. Example: She succeeded by way of hard work.

'Through ' in this context means 'by means of'.

Yes, you can use it whenever the meaning is: as a result of
she succeded though hard work
