At the end of Nurse Jackie's first season, Jackie's boyfriend lost his job and discovered she was married with children.
Meanwhile, she became increasingly addicted to prescription drugs.
"You would have thought a more profound lesson might have been learned," Falco told USA Today. "But for the most part it takes her very little time to kind of get back to where she was.
"Sometimes the most dangerous addicts are the ones who are high-functioning. The lucky ones are the ones who fall apart, who still have time to fix their lives."
Falco added that Jackie tries to "straighten things out" but admitted that she believes it's "not the lowest she can go".
The second season of Nurse Jackie premieres tonight on Showtime.
