It indicates that a person needs supportive services and a modified treatment plan.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Relapse may seem like a failure, but it is actually a part of the&nbsp;recovery process.&nbsp;If you are in treatment for addiction, it is important to know that&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.therecoveryvillage.com\/recovery\/relapse\/\">relapse<\/a>&nbsp;and recoverycan occur together as part of an ongoing journey. Here are five reasons why a relapse doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019ve failed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Addiction is a Disease<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One reason that relapse is not indicative of failure is that&nbsp;drug or alcohol addiction is a chronic relapsing illness.&nbsp;As&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nejm.org\/doi\/full\/10.1056\/nejmra1511480?cookieSet=1?cookieSet=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">experts<\/a>&nbsp;have reported, the research supports that addiction is a brain disease because it weakens the brain\u2019s ability to experience pleasure and motivation, increases a person\u2019s response to stress, creates cravings and unpleasant emotions when cravings go unsatisfied, and impairs functioning of brain regions associated with controlling inhibitions, making decisions, and regulating behavior.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.therecoveryvillage.com\/drug-addiction\/disease-or-choice\/\">addiction is a disease<\/a>&nbsp;that affects the way your brain works, relapse is also part of the disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Relapse is Common<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Relapse is a common part of the recovery process. According to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.drugabuse.gov\/publications\/drugs-brains-behavior-science-addiction\/treatment-recovery\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA)<\/a>,\u00a0relapse statistics\u00a0show that 40-60% of people relapse after completing treatment. This\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.therecoveryvillage.com\/alcohol-abuse\/alcohol-relapse-statistics\/\">relapse rate<\/a>\u00a0is comparable to that seen with physical illnesses, such as asthma and high blood pressure, for which the rate of relapse is between 50-70%.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;chances of relapse after rehab&nbsp;are moderately high, indicating that relapse is a normal part of recovery and not an individual failure.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Recovery Village recently&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.therecoveryvillage.com\/alcohol-abuse\/survey-reveals-risks-before-during-after-addiction\/\">surveyed 2,136 American adults<\/a>&nbsp;who either wanted to stop drinking alcohol or had already tried to (successfully or not). Of those, only 29.4% reported not relapsing at all. The largest group (32.3%) relapsed back to alcohol use within the first year after stopping. With perseverance, your chances of relapsing decrease the longer you stay sober: 21.4% relapsed in their second year in recovery, but only 9.6% relapsed in years three through five, and only 7.2% did so after their fifth year in recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Recovery is a Lifelong Journey<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to remember that recovery is a lifelong journey. One&nbsp;expert&nbsp;explains that recovery is more like a form of remission, where relapse is still possible. Recovery can mean that someone is making progress but is not cured.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.therecoveryvillage.com\/recovery\/\">recovery journey<\/a>&nbsp;is an ongoing process, not a single event where you\u2019re suddenly cured and will never experience a relapse.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Relapse is a Sign You Need to Alter Treatment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of seeing relapse as a failure, relapse can be a sign that it\u2019s time to make some changes to your treatment plan. Per the National Institute on Drug Abuse, a relapse indicates that a person in recovery needs to have a discussion with a professional about altering their treatment or perhaps even&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.drugabuse.gov\/publications\/drugs-brains-behavior-science-addiction\/treatment-recovery\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">returning to treatment<\/a>. Developing a plan that includes&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.therecoveryvillage.com\/treatment-program\/aftercare\/relapse-prevention-plan\/\">relapse prevention strategies<\/a>&nbsp;can be helpful and reduce the risk of future relapses.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4553654\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Researchers<\/a>&nbsp;have found that a successful relapse prevention plan should help people to identify the early signs of relapse as well as develop&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.therecoveryvillage.com\/treatment-program\/aftercare\/coping-skills\/\">coping skills<\/a>&nbsp;for dealing with stressors, cravings, and thoughts of using drugs. Cognitive therapy and relaxation techniques can be helpful interventions for preventing relapse.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Recovery Involves Building a New Life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Recovery involves creating a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.therecoveryvillage.com\/recovery\/sober-living\/\">sober lifestyle<\/a>&nbsp;and completely changing past habits, and it is understandable that there may be relapses during the course of building a new life.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4553654\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Addiction experts&nbsp;<\/a>explain that changing your life is the first step in the recovery process, and this involves avoiding people you used drugs with as well as the places you went to use drugs. Building a new life also requires changing unhealthy thought processes associated with substance abuse.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Change can be difficult, and there may be relapses along the way, but it is possible to lead a&nbsp;sober life&nbsp;with&nbsp;recovery support. People in recovery may benefit from working with a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.samhsa.gov\/brss-tacs\/recovery-support-tools\/peers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">peer support specialist<\/a>&nbsp;to assist them in building their new&nbsp;sober life.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are struggling from an addiction to drugs or alcohol and are ready to create a&nbsp;sober lifestyle, The Recovery Village offers comprehensive treatment services, including&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.therecoveryvillage.com\/treatment-program\/aftercare\/\">aftercare<\/a>&nbsp;and relapse prevention planning, to meet your needs.
