What Happens if I relapse?

If you experience a relapse, you need to get back to rehab immediately. The program will help you gain control of your recovery and instantaneously cuts off access to the drug or alcohol problem.

To ensure that your rehab is a success, you need to bring honesty to the program. You hold the keys to your recovery, and it’s in your hands whether you choose to stay sober.

The treatments available vary, and you need to find the right facility where you feel comfortable with the philosophy and approach. You may also want to look at the emotion or event that triggered your relapse, so you can learn how to deal with the future problems. Practices such as meditation, relaxation and yoga can aid recovering addicts after leaving the rehab program.

Just Because You Return to Rehab Doesn’t Mean You’ve Failed

Going back to rehab shouldn’t be seen as a failure. Instead, you can look at this as an act of bravery and wisdom. You value your life enough to avoid falling back into the arms of addiction and want to set a positive path for your future.

Individuals who have gone through sobriety in the past often go away from their second visit to rehab even more determined and dedicated to their recovery. Returning to rehab after relapsing offers you a better chance at achieving success.
