Causes of Lapse and Relapse
The biggest cause for concern in any lapse or relapse is a
person will believe they can return to consuming the
drug/substance at the level they were taking prior to beginning
recovery or quitting in general. They don’t realize their body
is no longer able to handle that amount. This puts them at risk
of overdose.
It’s incredibly difficult to admit when you’ve slipped up in
life or made a mistake. That’s just true in life as a whole.
When slipping up or lapsing while in recovery from addiction,
the pressure to not open up about those moments is even greater
because of the stigma around it.
When you have lapsed or relapsed into drug use, your life
depends on being open and honest. There are people who want to
hear from you and help you.
Treatment Built For You - Even After Relapse
When you begin recovery for substance use, you’re in recovery
for the rest of your life. This is why it’s important to have a
team and support system behind you to help you through each
step, misstep, or challenge you may face in your journey.
In choosing a team, it’s important to note how that team will
support you before, during, and after your treatment with them.
Most of the time, when using the guidance of a treatment
facility, it’s important to make sure there’s a program of
aftercare set up to continue helping you after you've completed
a treatment program.
Treatment programs vary in length but should always come with an
aftercare program.
