Drug & Alcohol Relapse Prevention

Relapse Prevention is a crucial element of any recovery program. Relapse is a process, it is not an event. ULOC Center in Tampa Florida offers a Relapse Prevention Program that delves into possible triggers for addiction and substance use disorder in group settings. The purpose is to education clients about the three stages of relapse (emotional relapse, mental relapse, physical relapse) and to create a relapse prevention plan. Clients learn to identify people and places, high-risk situations while developing coping and situation management skills. Preparing for those moments that can trigger a relapse encourages self-confidence. Having a relapse plan in place can make all the difference in knowing how to manage triggers.

Relapse Prevention activities include:

  • Participating in group discussions
  • Identifing and managing relapse triggers
  • Developing coping skills
  • Creating a personal plan for relapse prevention
  • Self-esteem and confidence building
  • Self care
  • Goal setting
