| dc.description.abstract | An understanding of the impact of risk factors for relapse can be instrumental in developing more targeted treatment to reduce relapse rates. This paper examined the relapse risk factors across socio-demographic patterns of persons admitted with substance use disorder. Objectives of this study were; to determine the levels of hazardous and risky use of substances among persons admitted for SUD treatment and to establish the risk factors associated with relapse. The study targeted 6 accredited rehabilitation centers, focused on participants aged between 18 and 40 years with a sample size of 120 participants. Rehabilitation centres were selected through purposive sampling, convenience sampling was used to select the drug addicts. Data was collected using questionnaires, assessment tools consisting of Advance Warning of Relapse (AWARE) Questionnaire, the Alcohol, Smoking, and Substance Involvement Screening Test (ASSIST), Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT), Socio-Demographic Questionnaire and the Observation Schedule. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics and presented using tables. Results show that relapse risk of alcohol use was significant among age groups and religious groups. Relapse risk predisposition was significant among alcohol and cannabis users while tobacco had a significant but low relapse risk. | |
