Once you've been addicted to a drug, you're at high risk of falling back into a pattern of
addiction. If you do start using the drug, it's likely you'll lose control over its use again — even if
you've had treatment and you haven't used the drug for some time.
Stick with your treatment plan. Monitor your cravings. It may seem like you've
recovered and you don't need to keep taking steps to stay drug-free. But your chances of
staying drug-free will be much higher if you continue seeing your counselor, going to
support group meetings and taking prescribed medication.
Avoid high-risk situations. Don't go back to the neighborhood where you used to get
your drugs. And stay away from your old drug crowd.
Get help immediately if you use the drug again. If you start using the drug again, talk
to your doctor, your mental health provider or someone else who can help you right
away.
