Relapse
to Substance Use:
Triggers and Lessons Learned
This project builds on the Pathways study with the following research objectives:
- To document past relapse patterns among persons who have achieved stable abstinence (over 3 years);
- To identify factors that promote and prevent relapse and to investigate whether they change with length of abstinence achieved (e.g., are factors associated with relapse after 6 or 12 months similar to or different from those after, 6, 10, 12, etc. years of abstinence?)
- To learn about the context of the relapse experience from participants who have achieved stable recovery and gained perspective into the challenging process of addiction recovery.
