Although addiction is treatable through a residential treatment facility, it is a life-long battle and requires consistent practice to prevent relapse from happening. It is also very important to recognize that relapse does not mean treatment given in the past failed, it just signals the need for additional or different forms of treatment.
The Challenges of Reintegration
After successfully completing a residential treatment program for alcohol or drug abuse, we are faced with new challenges and obstacles as we are reintroduced back into the world as sober individuals. It can bring temptations, anxiety, fear, or for some you can feel completely lost on your journey in recovery. When someone relapses, it brings much shame and guilt when the process does not work for them. Every individual has a different formula for success when battling addiction, however, the individual needs to follow the addiction treatment methods and programs to allow the process to work and make a full recovery in long-term sobriety. Some common symptoms of relapse can include hopelessness, isolation, poor hygiene, lack of energy, dishonesty, poor eating habits, not attending support groups, no longer participating in activities that were once enjoyed, and no longer associating with loved ones or friends.
