Substance Use & Recovery / Ongoing Recovery
Recovery is easier to protect when the plan continues after the crisis passes.
Ongoing recovery care can help people notice early warning signs, keep medical and psychiatric treatment on track, strengthen coping, and remain connected to useful support.

Your care plan
A return to use is a reason to reassess the plan.
A recurrence of substance use can increase overdose and other health risks. The goal is rapid re-engagement, safety assessment, and adjustment of care rather than shame.
