Relapse Prevention
Creating a relapse prevention plan is crucial for those recovering from substance abuse. It takes a preventative approach to provide support in times of distress and couple, help develop healthy lifestyles, and be a powerful source of stabilization. The primary goal of relapse prevention treatment is to identify high-risk situations that will make you vulnerable to relapse.
Our therapists use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to teach you coping strategies to prevent future relapses and how to anticipate scenarios that may trigger your addictive behavior.
