A relapse occurs when a person who has previously recovered from addiction or addictive behavior returns to using the substance or engaging in the behavior. Short-term recovery refers to a relatively brief period of abstinence or early sobriety. An intervention is a structured approach to helping someone get treatment for addiction.
