Relapse Prevention Counseling

Relapsing is common and should never be thought of as a failure. In fact, it is a part of recovery and can often be used as an opportunity to learn more about yourself and your own triggers. It is important to remember that a relapse does not mean you have to start over from the beginning. You can pick up where you left off and continue to make progress in your recovery. That being said, relapse prevention can help increase the chances of staying sober in the long run.

Relapse prevention counseling can help you stay sober or successfully manage a mental health disorder after you transition out of a substance abuse treatment program. Although you may want to believe that you are cured after you leave treatment, there is more work to be done. Staying sober over the long term requires learning coping skills and strategies that can help you recognize and prevent relapse.
