40% to 60% of People Relapse Within the First Year of Going to Inpatient Treatment*

Rehab isn’t the finish line, it’s the starting point. Getting sober in a structured, protected environment is one challenge; staying sober in the real world where anything can happen is another.

Lasting recovery requires more than a break from everyday life. It takes practical tools, adaptive strategies, and professional sober coaching to navigate real-life triggers, and stressors in order to attain meaningful recovery.

3 Stages of a Relapse

Mental

The individual is not actively using, but their emotions and behaviors are setting them up for a relapse.

Emotional

This stage is a mental war between the desire to stay sober and the thoughts of using.

Physical

This is the final stage where the individual begins using drugs or alcohol again.

* Approximately 40-60% of individuals who complete drug rehabilitation programs relapse within the first year post-treatment, according to a comprehensive meta-analysis of addiction recovery outcomes. The percentage stat is from The National Institute of Drug Abuse. (2020). Treatment and Recovery.
