Addiction Relaspe Rates

Addiction is a chronic disease, like diabetes or asthma, and as such, relapses are expected, part of the learning process, and preventable. Short of a cure, chronic diseases flare up from time to time. When addiction flares, the person in Recovery may relapse breaking their sobriety by using. Understandably, addiction relapses are common. Its estimated that 90% of addicts experience a brief relapse while 50% return to heavy usage. While these statistics are disheartening high, addiction relapse rates are in line with other chronic diseases.

Relapses should not be viewed as failures. Relapses are part of the Recovery learning process. They can also signal that the treatment regimen needs to be revisited or modified in order to help the addict reestablish control and return to recovery.
