Leaving a rehab facility is a significant milestone—but it’s not the finish line. For many people recovering from substance use disorder, that first step into “normal” life can feel anything but normal. In fact, feeling lost after rehab is a common and often overwhelming experience. If you or a loved one is struggling to adjust post-treatment, know this: it’s a normal part of recovery, and you are not alone.

According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, 40% to 60% of people recovering from addiction relapse—not because they’re weak, but because recovery is a process, not a destination.

When people begin their recovery journey—whether from alcohol abuse, substance use, or a dual diagnosis involving a mental health disorder—it’s common to expect things to start improving immediately. You quit drinking, you stop using, and life should begin to look up, right? Not always.

One of the most disorienting parts of early recovery is feeling worse before feeling better. The physical, emotional, and psychological toll of withdrawal can catch many off guard.

But here’s the truth: feeling worse at the beginning is a normal part of the recovery process. This dip is not a sign of failure, but often a crucial step toward healing.
