Relapse is considered a full blown return to the destructive behavior. A lapse in a slip are more just temporary return, picking yourself back up rather quickly, getting back on the horse metaphorically and getting back on with life. Where relapse, again, is considered something that ranges anywhere from one or two days, week to many years returning to the disruptive behavior.
