Recidivism means to lose the gains made. For example the term is used widely in Social Work, Psychiatry & Social Services. Recidivism occurs when someone is discharge from a psychiatric admission and then has to be re-hospitalized soon after because their mental status declined.

It means to go back to previous forms of undesirable behaviour. For example, the chances of recidivism are high when criminals are released from jail, partly I'm sure, because they learn worse forms of misbehaviour while they are in jail.
