N.M. Admin. Code § 16.47.1.20

Current through Register Vol. 35, No. 23, December 10, 2024

Section 16.47.1.20 - RELAPSE OF LICENSEE IN RECOVERY PROGRAM GENERAL

Although relapse (failure to maintain abstinence) is not inevitable, it is common for relapse to occur in recovery from alcoholism or other substance dependence. Therefore, a licensee who is engaged in a formal program of recovery, and is compliant with all provisions other than abstinence, will not be regarded automatically as having committed a new offense.
