Can Substance Use Relapse?

Yes, substance use relapse can occur. It is a common occurrence during the recovery process and can happen to anyone, regardless of the type of substance they were using or the length of their recovery. It is important to understand that addiction is a chronic disease, and like any other chronic disease, there may be times of remission and times of relapse. However, with proper treatment and support, people can overcome addiction and achieve long-term recovery.
