Relapse is a common occurrence among those in recovery from alcohol or drug abuse. According to drug relapse statistics from the National Institute on Drug Abuse, 40 to 60 percent of people experience a recurrence of symptoms at least once after treatment for drug addiction. This drug relapse rate is similar to the relapse rates for other chronic diseases, such as diabetes, hypertension, and asthma. Furthermore, for those in recovery from alcoholism, the relapse rate may be as high as 90 percent.
