Calcium is unique among metals because its ions have a very large concentration gradient across the plasma membrane of all cells, from 10 â3 M Ca 2+ outside, to 10 â7 M Ca 2+ inside.

Many families find it useful to distinguish between a âslipâ or a âlapseâ as an instance of substance use by someone who has a goal of abstinence and a ârelapseâ as a return to the pre-treatment pattern of substance use. When someone has fully relapsed, they slide back towards the heavy and frequent use of before.
