Relapse Prevention

Our relapse prevention program is designed to move our clients towards permanent sobriety. How we accomplish this is incorporated into our entire program. Specific groups designed to target each individual's relapse triggers are only part of our overall strategy in addressing this most pressing problem. The morning community group is one such part of our strategy. In this group, our clients are encouraged to learn the value of self-assessment, teaching the vital skill of being able to see how their thoughts, feelings and emotions can 'trigger' former coping skills of addiction. Combined with staff supervision and accountability, this is a highly effective intervention to learning a new set of coping skills.

While our whole program is geared towards the chronic relapser, we have also put together specific programs that will enable our clients to gain clearer understanding of their particular relapse warning signs. Through the use of time-specific, specialized group therapy, over and above the normal schedule of treatment, we can address these warning signs or triggers and attend to each individual's particular needs. We have clinically proven, nationally recognized assignments, books and techniques to bring the client towards the overall picture of how to achieve permanent recovery.
