Relapse is a common yet difficult part of the journey toward freedom from addiction. It refers to the return to substance use after a period of abstinence. At Khoj Foundation – Naasha Mukti Kendra in Delhi, we understand that recovery is not a straight path, and setbacks like relapse do not mean failure. Instead, they signal the need for renewed focus, support, and strategy. Recognizing the warning signs—such as isolation, stress, or cravings—is the first step to preventing a full relapse.
Relapse is often triggered by emotional distress, peer pressure, environmental cues, or unresolved trauma. These triggers can quietly build up, making a person vulnerable to slipping back into old habits. At Khoj Foundation, we help individuals identify their personal triggers through counseling, therapy, and mindfulness practices. Our goal is to empower each person with coping tools and a strong support network, so they are better equipped to face life’s challenges without turning to substance use.
If a relapse does occur, it’s important not to lose hope. Recovery is still possible, and many people go on to live healthy, addiction-free lives after setbacks. At Khoj Foundation, we treat relapse as a learning opportunity. Our compassionate team provides medical care, emotional guidance, and therapeutic support to help individuals regain stability. With the right mindset, professional help, and consistent support, every relapse can be turned into a stepping stone toward lasting recovery
