That's not entirely true. Certain functions can be recovered thanks to the brain's natural ability to rewire itself. Brain damage can happen from trauma, lack of blood flow, a seizure...the extent of injury isn't determined.
One of these articles states that relapse is a natural part of recovery and I've heard others say this too. Again, they do not have a relapse prevention plan. There are signs of a relapse and ways of preventing them. Sometimes there are psychosocial factors. It's not all black and white.
@ayesha naymat It is probably one of the most important topics in our society right now. With drug abuse on the rise, and with new street drugs it's becoming unmanageable to epidemic levels, particularly around opiates. There are some drugs that just take things too far and burn holes in peoples brains and they probably aren't coming back from that unfortunately. I truly feel that some drugs just take their souls and no amount of a program or spiritual healing is going to bring them back.... very sad...
