Relapse is
the return to substance abuse after a length of time being drug- or
alcohol-free, known as abstinence. Put simply, a relapse is the worsening of a
medical condition that had previously improved. For example, someone who had
completely stopped drinking for a period of time would be experiencing a
relapse if they had a single alcoholic drink, as much as if they went on a
drinking binge. Based in Miami Beach, Florida, Dr Norman Goldwasser has dedicated
his career to helping people overcome issues related to addiction.
