Recovery is not over when you leave the rehab facility.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\nAddiction to drugs or alcohol is a disease, again, for which no one has developed a cure or magic pill that will take away the effects to bring you back to who you were before you established the dependence. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nIt’s with you forever, and it’s something that you need to put constant time and effort into to ensure you don’t fall back into the trap because relapse is always going to be possible. While you will see progress with recovery, you won’t find a cure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- The care plan needs an adjustment<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
No one should view relapse as a failure. While it can be frustrating for you, you’re working hard, but sometimes the care plan might need some adjusting to help you out, or perhaps you need a bit more treatment which is no reflection on you personally but more so on the disease. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe recovery facilities can typically implement prevention strategies for relapse, helping you learn the signs to prevent the potential for possible future episodes. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe right program can help individuals with coping skills where they had none before, thus turning to either drugs or alcohol in their attempts to deal with more significant problems than they knew how to handle. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nPlus, these programs assist users with cravings, the notion of using drugs or alcohol. In many cases, relaxation methodology and cognitive skills are beneficial techniques to help prevent possible relapse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Developing a fresh lifestyle from what you’re used to<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
A sober lifestyle will probably be new for you and needs to be established to avoid past behaviors, but it won’t keep you from having that occasional relapse. The first step in your progression towards sobriety is to change your life as far as the places you go and the people you interact with regularly, not to mention the thought processes that took you down the unhealthy pathways. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nIt is possible to carry on a sober lifestyle, but you have to be willing, and there has to be support backing your move. There are many support groups to which recovery programs can lead you. Still, a priority is to develop a strong aftercare plan with the service provider you work with so the process doesn’t stop dead with recovery, and you’re left on your own when you walk out the doors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That’s the point when you need the most incredible amount of support when leaving recovery. You’re at your most vulnerable with not a clue how to proceed on your own since there are fewer friends because you had to leave behind those you used to revel with, meaning your support system is diminished. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nIf you’re someone who finds yourself in that position, contact your recovery center and let them know where you are. They won’t leave you in the lurch. They’re there to support you and know relapse is part of the recovery process, especially with each person’s stressors. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nYou’re not alone; there are friends with your recovery network. Reach out and let them guide you so you can reestablish the friendships with which you’re struggling. Some friends might just not know what to say or how to react. With the right advice from the ideal support system, you can show them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Relapse following rehab and recovery does not equate to failing. People should probably read that again since most are generally tough on themselves.
