Following a relapse, returning to treatment isn't necessary for everyone. However, getting back into weekly therapy or consultations may help you overcome your ongoing difficulty. You may need to contact your support network and attend events more regularly. Joining a support group might help you feel less alone in your quest for sobriety and provide you with a network of people who understand what you're going through.

People who have relapsed and are seeking to get their lives back to normal might choose from various therapy approaches.

Outpatient treatment may be needed to end the recurrence pattern if the patient comes from a supportive family and has a stable living situation at home. In addition, some rehabilitation centers provide booster sessions, which may be helpful for those who have reverted after receiving care.

These brief outpatient treatments may be beneficial in many ways, including avoiding the need to enter a more extensive rehabilitation facility. This follow-up service may be provided to you by the rehabilitation program that you first attended, or a nearby treatment facility may be able to offer these sessions to you.

It's best to enroll in an inpatient care plan if you don't have a stable home environment or believe you can't stop the loop of relapse on your own. Inpatient care may be the best option if you have waited more than a year since your previous treatment.

Suppose you've gone through significant transformations after completing rehab the first time. In that case, you may require a more robust treatment program to help you remember and implement the principles you learned there.
