Get Started

Addiction is often described as a chronic relapsing and remitting disorder in which patients fluctuate between periods of heavier and more problematic substance use and periods of more controlled substance use, including abstinence for some. The challenges of preventing and/or managing relapse are therefore a core component of the long-term treatment approach needed for substance use disorders.

This presentation will explore the concept of a lapse versus a relapse and suggest some simple approaches that may help both the clinician and the patient respond constructively to maintain motivation, promote learning and nurture lasting change.
