Stabilization Works—You Don't Have to Relapse

Nobody’s perfect, and for many addicts in recovery, relapse is a hurdle they can’t simply jump over. There are bound to be a few bumps in the road when you’re adjusting to sobriety, and many people relapse along the way. However, this is never an indication of failure but rather a sign that some changes need to be made in your routine. This is what clinical stabilization services (CSS) are for. As a family of addiction treatment facilities that offer these services, below is more on the definition of relapse in addiction and how CSS substance abuse care can help.

What Is a Relapse?

Addiction is referred to as a chronic and relapsing disease, meaning it requires continuous care. A relapse in addiction is when a person who’s been abstinent from drugs or alcohol starts using them again. A relapse (or multiple relapses) is an aspect of recovery for many individuals.

Considering the many benefits of sobriety – such as improved physical and mental health – many people wonder, why do addicts relapse? Many things can contribute to a relapse in addiction recovery. There’s a strong connection between dependence on drugs or alcohol and personal challenges.

Much like addiction to drugs or alcohol, the process of recovery and the reasons for relapse are usually personal. A relapse isn’t a sign that the individual is weak or a failure, but rather it’s just a continuation of old coping habits that need to be replaced with healthier ones.

Common causes of addiction relapse include:

  • Triggering or tempting situations, such as visiting places where the person would have previously drunk or used drugs.
  • Insecure housing, professional or personal setbacks, and social pressures or stigma.
  • Underlying mental health conditions (especially if the individual did not receive co-occurring disorder treatment.)
  • Underlying physical health problems, such as persistent pain, that lead a person to prescription drug abuse.
  • Unresolved emotional problems, such as shame or guilt from a previous addiction.

If you notice any signs of relapse in a loved one, bring it to their attention right away so they can get help.

Benefits of CSS Treatment for Relapse

Unfortunately, emotional, physical, and financial challenges may present themselves because of a relapse. Going back to rehab or finding a rehab program that’s covered by insurance can be difficult after a relapse. This is exactly what our addiction stabilization center is for.

CSS substance abuse treatment is not the same as a full-out drug or alcohol rehab program. Stabilization treatment is specifically designed for people who have completed addiction treatment but need some follow-up care to get them back on track.

In a nutshell, a stabilization program for addiction recovery provides care for patients who have undergone a drug or alcohol relapse. In many cases, the risk of overdose is high in relapse, as the individual’s body isn’t accustomed to processing drugs or alcohol in the way it once was.

In addition to requiring medical care for side effects, overdose, and withdrawal symptoms, individuals who have relapsed may also require therapy to determine the contributing factors of their relapse.

Were they spending too much time with old drinking buddies? Are they managing stress poorly? Do they have a mental illness that needs to be addressed?

A stabilization program offers medically supervised detox, inpatient care, and individual and group therapies to support clients and set them up for a smoother recovery in the future. We even offer family therapy to help clients who may be struggling with their relationships at home, not only offering individual healing options but also fostering healthy relationships that can support sobriety.
