Stress-Induced Substance Use and Relapse
Stress-Induced Substance Use and Relapse
Stress is a significant trigger for substance use and relapse in recovery. Individuals who have struggled with addiction may turn to drugs or alcohol as a coping mechanism for managing stress. This stress-induced use can be a barrier to recovery, as high levels of stress can overwhelm an individual's ability to stay sober. Treatment programs often focus on stress management techniques, such as mindfulness, meditation, and relaxation exercises, to help individuals cope with life’s challenges without resorting to substance use. Addressing stress as a root cause of relapse is crucial in building resilience and promoting long-term sobriety, as it helps individuals develop healthier responses to stress.
