-
A lapse occurs when a patient starts drinking again after a period of planned complete stopping, or when a patient who has been in control of his/her drinking starts drinking a larger amount and/or more frequently than planned during the counselling process. If this happens for a prolonged period, it is a relapse.
A lapse is a single occasion, while a relapse is a series of occasions.
