Relapse Defined. The word relapse originates from Latin and it means to slip back. It is most often used to describe the situation when an individual who has been sober for a period of time returns to alcohol or drug use.It does not matter if this individual has only been sober for weeks, months, years, or decades.eturn to Addiction. When people return to alcohol or drugs after a period of sobriety it can have disastrous consequences. In some cases this relapse will be short lived and the individual will be able to reestablish themselves in recovery without too many adverse consequences.
