Drug Addiction and Other Chronic Illnesses

When someone with drug addiction or another chronic illness relapses, an intervention should be renewed. The process needs to be started again, so it requires becoming free of the substance again and with a focus on staying away from the drug. As soon as you find yourself craving or thinking about trying the addicted substance again, you should be contacting someone for help. If you use the drug again before getting help, write down the environment and your thought process as you remember them. This is to help understand what might have caused the relapse in order to prevent it in the future.
