The repetition of some socially unacceptable behavior, after that behavior had previously stopped (such as when a person successfully completes rehab and returns to substance abuse repeatedly) is called:

intoxication

dependence

recidivism

cross-tolerance

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

A. intoxication
Intoxication refers to the acute effects of a substance on the body, not the repeated return to a behavior.

B. dependence
Dependence is a physical or psychological need for a substance, not the relapse after treatment.

C. recidivism
Recidivism refers to relapse-the recurrence of an undesirable behavior (like substance use) after a period of improvement.

D. cross-tolerance
Cross-tolerance occurs when tolerance to one drug results in tolerance to another, not repeated relapse.

B. The right to reasonable continuity of care
Continuity ensures safe and consistent treatment, especially during transitions in care.

A. no regular use B. exceed moderate levels; notice a tolerance effect C. occasional social use D. continuous use; unable to function without the substance

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. no regular use
This fits more with the early or experimental stage, not middle.

B. exceed moderate levels; notice a tolerance effect
The middle stage is defined by increased consumption, developing tolerance, and the beginning of physical or psychosocial impacts.

C. occasional social use
Again, this is more consistent with the early stage of substance use.

D. continuous use; unable to function without the substance
This describes the late stage, where the person is likely physically dependent and showing serious impairment.
