Relapse prevention

It is important that this is taught because, no matter how successful and productive one’s experience is in any given drug or alcohol rehab center, there is still always an underlying threat and possibility of relapse in such an individual. The fundamental problem here is one of time. Time is a huge factor in the addiction and rehabilitation quest, as it is in any other aspect or facet of life. It breaks down to the simple fact that, when one abuses drugs or alcohol, he or she usually abuse them for a matter of several years before he or she attempts to seek out rehabilitation for their crisis. Even the longest residential rehab programs usually don’t last for more than three months. So it comes down to the simple fact of how can an individual possibly hope to efficiently and adequately address every single aspect and facet of addiction that has accumulated over the course of several years in just a few months? It’s not possible.
