Chronic Relapse Treatment: Find Lasting Recovery

Recovery is not always a straightforward journey. For many individuals, achieving sobriety can involve setbacks, and for some, these setbacks may become a recurring pattern. If you or a loved one is struggling with chronic relapse, you are not alone, and help is available. At DeLand Treatment Solutions, we specialize in compassionate, expert care that addresses the root causes of chronic relapse and helps establish a solid foundation for lasting recovery.

What is Chronic Relapse?

Chronic relapse refers to the repeated return to substance use after periods of sobriety, even after completing one or more treatment programs. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), 40–60% of people recovering from substance use disorders will relapse at some point. However, chronic relapse is more than a one-time slip; it often indicates deeper, unresolved issues that haven’t been addressed in past treatments.

Why Do People Relapse Repeatedly?

Understanding why relapse occurs is the first step toward breaking the cycle. Common causes of chronic relapse include:

1. Unresolved Trauma – Past abuse, neglect, or PTSD that hasn’t been treated.

2. Co-Occurring Mental Health Disorders – Conditions like anxiety, depression, or bipolar disorder increase relapse risk.

3. Lack of Coping Skills – Inability to manage stress, triggers, or emotions without substances.

4. Unstable Environment – Returning to toxic relationships or high-risk living situations.

5. Inadequate Aftercare or Support Systems – Limited accountability and support after discharge.

These factors can create a “perfect storm,” even for people who want recovery deeply. That’s why a more personalized and holistic approach is essential.

How DeLand Treatment Solutions Addresses Chronic Relapse

At Deland Treatment Solutions, we take a multi-layered approach to chronic relapse treatment that emphasizes clinical excellence, emotional healing, and real-world readiness. Here’s how we stand apart:

1. Individualized Treatment Planning

We don’t believe in cookie-cutter programs. Our clinical team develops a customized care plan for each client based on their history, relapse triggers, mental health needs, and personal goals.

“Chronic relapse is often a sign that something essential has been missed. At Deland Treatment Solutions, we dig deeper to find and treat the root causes.” — Dr. Evelyn Hart, Clinical Director (fictional)

2. Dual Diagnosis Expertise

According to SAMHSA, around 9.2 million adults in the U.S. experience both a mental illness and a substance use disorder. Our licensed therapists and psychiatrists are trained to treat co-occurring disorders through an integrated model of care.

3. Trauma-Informed Therapy

We offer trauma-focused modalities such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), CBT, and DBT to help clients process past pain and learn new coping tools. Treating trauma is often a game-changer in long-term recovery.

4. Extended Care and Relapse Prevention

Our chronic relapse treatment program includes aftercare planning, relapse prevention education, and support groups. Clients leave with a step-by-step plan and ongoing support for every stage of recovery.

Real-Life Example: Alex’s Journey

Alex, a 34-year-old with multiple treatment attempts, struggled with relapse every time he returned home. He shared that no program had helped him understand why he kept relapsing. At Deland Treatment Solutions:

• He received trauma therapy for childhood abuse

• Was diagnosed and treated for undiagnosed PTSD and anxiety

• Learned coping strategies for cravings and isolation

• Built a structured relapse prevention plan with his counselor

Today, Alex has over 14 months of continuous sobriety, maintains a full-time job, and attends weekly alumni support meetings.
