Relapse Prevention
Skills to recognize triggers and high-risk situations and respond before a slip.
Relapse prevention is a skills-based approach that helps people identify triggers and high-risk situations and build concrete plans to respond before a slip.
About Relapse Prevention
Recovery is rarely linear. Relapse prevention treats that reality directly: mapping the people, places, feelings, and situations that raise risk, and rehearsing specific responses — distress-tolerance skills, support contacts, and changes to routine — so a hard moment doesn’t become a slip.
It is delivered in group and individual sessions as part of integrated care, and it carries into aftercare, where continuity substantially reduces relapse and re-hospitalization risk versus stopping treatment at program end.
