What Is the Impact of Relapse on Treatment Outcomes?
Relapse can significantly impact treatment outcomes, often resulting in discouragement and a loss of motivation for individuals in recovery. It can lead to prolonged exposure to toxic substances, exacerbating health complications. However, relapse is not a sign of failure but rather a common part of the recovery process. By understanding this, healthcare professionals can adjust treatment plans to address underlying causes and modify interventions to better support individuals in their recovery journey.
