Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A slip, or a minor lapse, may generate negative emotions such as guilt, anxiety or hopelessness in clients. These emotions can increase the risk of relapse if not addressed effectively. However, slips do not inevitably lead to relapse, and they are not always a signal that the client needs to reenter treatment. Slips are common and can occur even when a person is on the path to recovery, but they are not unrelated to the events that precipitate relapse. The best answer is D because it accurately describes the relationship between slips and relapse.
