If you smoke or drink alcohol so does your baby. If you use marijuana, cocaine, crystal meth, or any drug, your baby also feels the impact of these dangerous drugs and its life is at risk.<br \/>\nPerhaps you already know this and you&#8217;re seeking help so your baby doesn&#8217;t suffer <a href=\"https:\/\/americanpregnancy.org\/pregnancy-complications\/miscarriage\/\">miscarriage<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/americanpregnancy.org\/birth-defects\/\">birth defects<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/americanpregnancy.org\/labor-and-birth\/premature-labor\/\">premature labor<\/a> or addiction. But staying clean and sober is so hard and relapse is so easy. It&#8217;s important to understand that relapse does not mean your recovery has failed or is impossible.<br \/>\nUnderstanding the stages of relapse, relapse warning signs and how to manage relapse can be the difference between being able to use a relapse event as a valuable learning experience or giving up on recovery and slipping back into substance use.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The Definition of Drug Relapse<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.merriam-webster.com\/dictionary\/relapse\">relapse is defined<\/a>\u00a0as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The act or an instance of backsliding, worsening or subsiding<\/li>\n<li>A recurrence of symptoms of a disease after a period of improvement<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When applied to recovery from a substance use disorder, relapse means that someone who had successfully managed to abstain from their drug of choice backslides into substance use. Relapse may be a one-time event, or it may lead to regular and worsening substance use.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How Common is Relapse?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA),\u00a0between 40% and 60% of people with a substance use disorder will have a relapse event. Although this statistic is daunting, it is important for people in recovery to understand that relapse does not equal failure. In fact, many people who have had long term success in recovery look back on their relapses as valuable learning experiences.<br \/>\nStatistics on drug relapse show that relapse rates without professional treatment vary by drug type:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Opioids (heroin, oxycodone) are associated with the highest relapse rates.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5855417\/\">More than 90%<\/a>of people who quit using opioids will relapse.<\/li>\n<li>Nicotine has relapse rates that are estimated to be between\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3163190\/\">80% and 90%<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Alcohol is associated with relapse rates between\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC1976118\/\">50% and 80%<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Cocaine relapse rates are estimated to be between\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.drugabuse.gov\/news-events\/nida-notes\/2015\/07\/study-ranks-recovery-assets-in-cocaine-addiction\">40% and 80%<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Relapse rates are lower for people who have completed professional rehab programs, but even then relapse rates can approach 50%. Rather than letting this be a discouraging statistic, it should help people understand that relapse is frequently a normal part of a successful recovery and many people who have enjoyed long-term sobriety experienced frustrating setbacks in the form of relapse.<br \/>\nStudies have shown that relapse vulnerability for cocaine is at its highest in the first\u00a01-6 months\u00a0after quitting, and relapse for most drugs typically occurs within the first year of sobriety.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Stages of Relapse<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>There are\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4553654\/\">three stages of drug relapse<\/a>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Emotional relapse:<\/strong>The first stage of relapse is generally not associated with thinking about using drugs. Many people in this early stage are determined to maintain sobriety. However, an emotional relapse often includes denial, self-isolation and overall poor self-care, which can increase the risk for depression and future relapse.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mental relapse:<\/strong>The second stage of relapse is characterized by a gradually increasing desire to use the drug of choice. Many people in mental relapse will bargain with themselves (\u201cI will only use the drug at social events where it is acceptable\u201d) or glamorize past use.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Physical relapse:<\/strong>The final stage of relapse is the actual relapse event. The best way to prevent physical relapse is to understand the warning signs and symptoms associated with the first two stages.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Warning Signs and Symptoms of Relapse<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>While a drug relapse may seem spontaneous, it is actually a gradual process that involves an \u201cincubation of craving.\u201d As the three stages of relapse progress, cravings often become stronger. If triggers or temptations are present, these cues will further drive the development of cravings.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Relapse Triggers<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Triggers are things that remind you of your drug of choice and that promote cue-induced craving incubation. Common triggers are old friends who you used drugs with, places where you used drugs, drug paraphernalia and even songs that you listened to while using.<br \/>\nIt will generally be impossible to completely avoid triggers, which is why making a relapse prevention plan is so important. When you can successfully face a trigger without succumbing to temptation, you will gain confidence in yourself and your ability to maintain long term sobriety.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How to Prevent Relapse<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Drug relapse prevention is a crucial component in successfully managing short and long term recovery. Having a relapse prevention plan can be the difference between resisting or giving in to a temptation.<br \/>\nRelapse prevention can be substantially aided by having a solid network of supportive people in your life. Discussing your goals for sobriety and why recovery is important to you with someone you trust can be valuable if you start to question whether the challenges of recovery are worth it- having someone remind you of your goals and inspirations can be incredibly motivating. Aftercare or\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ridgefieldrecovery.com\/treatments\/related\/benefits-of-12-step-programs\/\">12 step programs<\/a>\u00a0can be helpful ways to meet new people and develop a new, supportive network of friends.<br \/>\nUntreated co-occurring mental health disorders such as depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder are significantly associated with relapse. Conversely, a positive outlook and an ability to cope with stressors are significantly\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.drugabuse.gov\/news-events\/nida-notes\/2015\/07\/study-ranks-recovery-assets-in-cocaine-addiction\">associated with successful recovery<\/a>.<br \/>\nOther tips to prevent relapse include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Wait 30 minutes.<\/strong>Most urges will subside over the course of 15 to 30 minutes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Re-define \u201cfun.\u201d<\/strong>Find new hobbies or activities to replace your old ones. Exercise, arts &amp; crafts and volunteering can be incredibly fulfilling and confidence-building.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Learn from setbacks.<\/strong>If you relapse, make sure to take the time to understand which factors contributed to the relapse. Relapse is a learning experience, not a failure.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Participate <\/strong>in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ridgefieldrecovery.com\/treatments\/related\/cognitive-behavioral-therapy\/\">c<\/a>ognitive behavioral therapy\u00a0or another form of therapy that helps you become comfortable with your new sobriety.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you are struggling to overcome a substance use disorder, you don\u2019t have to do it alone.
