Addiction Relapse: Short and Long-Term Consequences           

There are different consequences relating to relapse that will be discussed in your group drug and alcohol treatment program.  Two possible paths will primarily be focused on during this part of the addiction treatment during  Outpatient.  Some alcoholics and drug addicts only relapse for a short period of time before realizing that they are out of control and need help again, returning to working on their recovery without experiencing intensive consequences to their life.

The second path discussed is regarding those who feel too much remorse for their relapse to actually return for addiction recovery treatment.  These individuals often develop progressive health and life issues that finally result in breaking down and going back into recovery, death via accidents, suicide, or drug-related violence.
