Why Are There People Who Still Relapse Even After Going Through a Drug Treatment Program?

Question by dania lm: Why are there people who still relapse even after going through a drug treatment program?
Isn’t this an indicator that the treatment program is not effective since the person keeps on falling into relapse?

Best answer:

Answer by arlyn e
Though there are people who get better and don’t relapse after just going through one treatment program, there are some who have to undergo multiple treatment programs because drug addiction is a chronic disease. Just like other chronic diseases, people with drug addiction are prone to relapsing. This is why treatment programs with continuing care are advisable.

Drug Addiction Help…?

Question by Brian: Drug Addiction Help…?
My girlfriend is on Meth. I am trying my hardest to understand and comply with it. When I try to intervene and confront her, it becomes nothing but violent and pointless it seems like. She has been on it for approx 3 years now, and I had met her about a year ago. This is someone i really do care about because if i know how she is when she is not on it. I have seen her not on it and that is the person i feel in love with. She is very paranoid, and very insecure. She likes to say her friends are hers and not for me to meet, and everything just seems to be going downhill. How do I confront her and talk to her, or better yet, help her. Anytime i try to talk to her, it seems like she doesnt listen or just walks out on me. I do i get her to actually sit down and listen? This is a very serious issue i am having to deal with in a loved one. Someone please help me with some advice.
Rehab unfortunately is not an option right at the moment. I cant afford it and no health insurance does not help.
