A drug relapse can feel overwhelming – but it doesn’t mean you’ve failed. Recovery is not a straight path and often includes setbacks. It’s normal to feel shame, guilt, or disappointment, but these feelings can make things worse if they make you want to give up on your goals.
At Maryville Integrated Care, we understand that relapsing often signifies something needs to change in your recovery plan. It might mean you need a different approach or additional structure. That’s OK. We offer resources you can count on.
Understand What Happened
Relapses aren’t random. They usually unfold in stages and result from unaddressed emotional triggers like stress or loneliness. Analyzing your behavior will help you determine what led you to return to drug use.
At Maryville, we help clients identify these patterns and develop new strategies to manage them. This process is part of building a stronger foundation for long-term recovery.
After a relapse, don’t wait to call your therapist, sober sponsor, or treatment provider. The sooner you act, the better.
Return to Treatment
Relapse doesn’t necessarily require you need to start from scratch – but it does mean re-engaging with treatment. Whether it’s outpatient counseling, medication-assisted treatment, or a stay in a residential program, additional care can help you get back on track.
Maryville offers individualized treatment plans that meet you where you are. We focus on what works best for you, combining mental health support, substance use care, and physical health services into one integrated plan.
Aftercare and Relapse Prevention Services
Ongoing support is vital for long-term recovery. Our aftercare services help you stay connected and accountable. We offer:
- Outpatient counseling in Turnersville and Vineland
- Telehealth sessions for convenient access
- Inpatient programs in Williamstown and Pemberton with transportation coordination
- Peer support and recovery planning
If you need extra structure, we can also help you find placement in a sober living home. These homes provide a stable, drug-free environment and daily accountability – especially valuable after a relapse, when you may be at a vulnerable point in your life.
