Managing Return to Use

In this episode of The Addiction Files, we break down a March 2025 Journal of Medicina study "Novel Insights into Addiction Management: A Meta-Analysis on Intervention for Relapse Prevention" on relapse prevention and translate the evidence into clinical practice. We cover high-yield interventions, risk stratification, and real-world “clinical pearls” for managing return to use across settings. Designed for clinicians, this episode offers concise, actionable strategies to stabilize patients and sustain recovery trajectories.  Hosted by Paula Donnelly Cook, MD FASAM and Darlene Petersen, MD FAAFP.
