Risk Relapse Factors

Risk relapse factors are conditions or situations that increase the likelihood of returning to a previous unhealthy behavior, such as substance use or overeating. These factors include stress, social pressures, negative emotions, or environmental triggers like places or people associated with the behavior. They can also involve low motivation or inadequate coping skills. Recognizing these factors helps individuals and healthcare providers develop strategies to avoid or manage triggers, supporting sustained recovery and reducing the chances of relapse.
