Triumphing Over Relapse: Kolmac’s Path to Lasting Recovery
In the journey towards recovery from substance use disorder, individuals often encounter the formidable challenge of relapse. Defined as the recurrence of substance use after a period of abstinence, relapse can be a significant setback on the path to recovery. However, understanding the factors contributing to relapse and implementing effective prevention and management strategies are essential components of successful recovery. In this article, we’ll explore the complexities of relapse and delve into Kolmac Integrated Behavioral Health’s holistic approach to supporting individuals through every stage of their recovery journey.
Understanding Relapse:
Relapse is a common and often predictable part of the recovery process, with rates like those of other chronic medical conditions. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), relapse rates for substance use disorders underscore the importance of developing tailored strategies to prevent and manage relapse effectively. Additionally, Harvard Health Publishing emphasizes the significance of maintaining a strong support network and engaging in self-care activities to mitigate the risk of relapse.

With over four decades of experience in providing evidence-based treatment for substance use disorders, Kolmac is committed to supporting individuals through every stage of recovery, including relapse.
Jennifer Dorsey, Chief Clinical Officer at Kolmac, underscores the importance of addressing relapse as part of the recovery process. In a recent video, Dorsey discusses the realities of relapse, and the proactive measures individuals can take to prevent and manage it effectively.
