I may be preaching to the choir but I feel like I need to get this out there... During my time working with individuals struggling with substance use disorder, I’ve worked hard on shifting the perspective on relapse while in treatment. Instead of viewing it as a failure or punishment, we should see it as an opportunity to treat the disease —an opportunity for growth, accountability and deeper healing. I have seen families, clinicians, and administrators push clients hastily towards detox or residential centers at the first sign of relapse. Sadly, that model has not worked and does not give the client the opportunity to change. Accountability and support are key. By collaborating with available resources, we can help clients stay on track with their treatment goals, offering the guidance and encouragement they need. Referring someone to a higher level of care should be a last resort, not the default response. Let's foster an environment of understanding and support, where clients feel empowered and motivated to continue their journey towards recovery. #SubstanceUseDisorder #RecoveryJourney #MentalHealth #EmpathyInTreatment #CollaborativeCare #Wellness #Relapse #
