AETV has recently introduced their newest addiction/reality show “Relapse”. RELAPSE is the new docu-reality series on A&E that follows sober coaches as they work to save the lives of addicts who have relapsed on drugs and alcohol. “Sober coaching” is a last resort for addicts who have tried other methods to get sober and have failed.
