Persons who enter into the termination stage have changed the behavior and are not in danger of relapse. Ideally, these stages would progress in the preceding order. Realistically, a person may progress and regress in any of the stages. The change process in persons with certain unhealthful habits (e.g., cigarette smoking, substance abuse, obesity) may be likened to the image of a revolving door. An individual may exit at any point from the revolving door. If the exit occurs during or at the end of the maintenance period, then successful behavior change has occurred. If the exit does not occur before the end of the maintenance period, then relapse will occur, and the individual will return to the previous lifestyle.
