Relapse Prevention

Relapse Prevention is about helping clients to stay within their treatment goals whether these be controlled usage or stopping all together.  It necessitates people analysing their patterns of drug and alcohol use and developing practical strategies they can use to manage triggers, cravings and high risk situations. The process runs through the whole treatment process - right from the initial assessment.

Most people will lapse or relapse before thy finally succeed - we also examine how people can be supported to learn from what has happened so that they do not become disheartened but are able to move on with new insights into themselves and their behaviour.

The techniques covered in these courses are normally  useful for clients who are in the decision, action and maintenance stages of the cycle of change. They are often used in one to one sessions with clients or in a group work scenarios.

Our listening and group work skills courses can be used to help workers think through how to raise these issues with clients.
