Relapse Means Failure: Many believe that a relapse signifies a complete failure in the recovery process. However, relapse is often a part of the recovery journey. It doesn’t mean that treatment has failed; rather, it indicates that the treatment plan may need adjustment.

In reality, addiction treatment must be personalized, considering the individual’s unique needs, including their mental health, social circumstances, and the substance they are addicted to.
