According to Scholastic, "Like other chronic diseases such as heart disease, drug addiction often requires treatment throughout a person's life. Even after a period of time without using drugs, an addicted person may have a relapse, meaning they start to use again. Relapse requires more or different treatment in order for him or her to stop using drugs again."

This article discusses drug addiction, recovery, and relapse.
