Relapse Prevention

Reality House offers a wide variety of Relapse Prevention programs as part of its Substance Abuse Treatment & Counseling services. The Relapse Prevention phase of the outpatient program is for patients who have completed the initial eight-week intensive abstinence phase. The major goals of relapse prevention are to maintain abstinence and lay the foundation for a lasting recovery. Education and counseling address attitudes and perceptions about relapse, early warning signs and relapse triggers, the need for improved coping skills to deal with addiction-related and other personal problems/stressors, and the need for personal change.
