Working on understanding triggers, developing coping skills, create a support network, develop a relapse prevention plan, and practice self-care strategies.
Relapse prevention is a vital aspect of addiction recovery focused on identifying and addressing the factors that may lead an individual to return to substance use or addictive behaviors after a period of abstinence. It involves developing strategies, skills, and support systems to effectively manage triggers, cravings, and stressors while promoting sustained sobriety and wellness. Relapse prevention empowers individuals in recovery to take proactive steps to protect their sobriety and build a fulfilling life free from the grips of addiction. It emphasizes self-awareness, resilience, and the utilization of effective coping strategies to overcome challenges and thrive in recovery.
