Relapse is viewed differently by individuals, leading to various definitions and perceptions of what constitutes a relapse. Some may consider minor incidents as significant relapses, while others may not even acknowledge them. This variability in defining relapse can affect how people approach and address the issue, with some finding the term 'return to use' more comforting and less accusatory than 'relapse'. The lack of a universal definition for relapse amplifies the complexity of addressing substance use issues effectively.
