Relapse Recovery & Follow-Up Care

 

Empowering Patients to Re-Engage, Rebuild, and Sustain Recovery

 

Understanding Relapse: A Clinical Perspective

Relapse is not a failure—it’s a recognized phase in the recovery continuum. Substance Use Disorder (SUD) and Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) are chronic, relapsing conditions influenced by neurobiological, psychological, and environmental factors. Relapse may occur due to:

 

• Stress, trauma, or emotional dysregulation
• Exposure to triggers or high-risk environments
• Disruption in support systems or treatment continuity
• Co-occurring mental health conditions

 

At Marula Rehab, we view relapse as a signal—not a setback. Our goal is to help patients re-enter care with dignity, structure, and renewed clinical support.

 

Evidence-Based Relapse Recovery Services

• Marula Rehab’s Telehealth Intensive Outpatient Program offers structured relapse recovery services designed to:
• Reassess clinical needs through updated intake and progress testing

 

• Rebuild coping strategies using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing
• Restore accountability through scheduled sessions and peer support

 

• Reconnect patients with their primary care provider for Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) referrals if clinically indicated
• Our relapse recovery protocol is trauma-informed, culturally competent, and tailored to each patient’s history and goals.

 

Continuity of Care: Follow-Up That Matters

• Recovery is a long-term process. Marula Rehab ensures continuity through:
• Scheduled follow-up appointments post-relapse to monitor progress
• Secure patient portal access for ongoing communication and care coordination
• Sliding scale fee support to remove financial barriers to re-engagement
• Referral pathways to primary care providers for integrated treatment planning
• Patients who re-enter care are never penalized. Instead, they are welcomed back with compassion and clinical rigor.
