Relapse is a process, not an event.
The best way to prevent relapse is to understand warning signs and risk factors. Before the actual stage of having drugs in your system, there are primary stages that are key factors in developing a relapse. Factors vary from each person and situation, but relapse causes include emotional triggers, mental triggers, and physical relapse.
