Preventing Drug Relapse

Drug addiction and alcoholism are chronic diseases of the brain. As with any chronic disease, the possibility of relapse exists. Alcoholism and drug addiction are influenced by social, environmental, psychological and medical factors. Unfortunately, these diseases do not just "go away."  There is no exact prescription for preventing relapse, but there are certain guidelines, that if followed, greatly increase the odds of achieving and maintaining long term recovery. To date, there has never been an addiction treatment program, drug rehab or alcoholism rehab program that has been able to claim that all of their patients have recovered. However, programs that incorporate drug relapse prevention plans greatly enhance their patients' chances of embracing quality long-term recovery.
