Drug & Alcohol Rehab Centers near Lodi, NJ

In Lodi, New Jersey, as in many other places in the U.S., relapse is a possible and common part of addiction recovery. Some experts compare drug and alcohol relapse to relapse occurrences of other chronic diseases, such as asthma or hypertension—noting that just because a behavior has reoccurred, it doesn’t mean that treatment failed. Relapse is merely a bump in the road. You don’t have to let a relapse lead you back into a cycle of substance abuse.

A significant portion of the people in Lodi who enter rehab do so because of alcohol, and some of those admissions may be due to relapse. In Lodi, 29% of residential treatment admissions list alcohol as the primary substance of abuse.¹ It’s likely that 40% to 60% of these people experience relapse after treatment.² 

Most treatment support professionals know that relapse usually indicates a need to adjust or modify treatment to be more fitting to the person seeking recovery.²

In an effort to help those recovering from addiction avoid alcohol relapse, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved several medicines that can help people maintain abstinence. These include:³
