In order to maintain
long-term sobriety, abstinence from drugs and
alcohol, you must have an understanding of relapse
prevention. Relapse prevention consists of being
able to correctly identify and respond to relapse
warning signs. A relapse is the use of drugs
or alcohol after a period of abstinence. Also
known as "falling off the wagon" or
"slipping," relapses are very common
for those who have developed alcoholic and addicted
patterns of behavior. The ability to identify
and act accordingly to relapse warning signs
can often be enough to maintain enriching and
long-term abstinence from drugs and alcohol.
Relapse warning
signs are not universal however and differ from
person to person. For this reason many people
find professional intervention helpful with
their drug and/or alcohol problem. Trained medical
and mental health professionals can be very
effective in identifying behavior patterns that
could lead to relapse.
At Spencer Recovery
Centers we address many different symptoms of
pending relapse and customize a treatment plan
to address the needs of each of our clients.
For some relapse is predicted by strong urges
and cravings for alcohol and drugs that can
be managed by identification, expectation and
reaction behaviors. For others, high-risk situations
such as hanging out at certain places or with
certain people can be a trigger for relapse.
Individual and group therapy with a trained
counselor can help avoid dangerous relapse warning
signs and promote long term sobriety.
