Addiction Recovery Relapse Prevention
People in recovery need to understand how the disease of addiction manifests in them once the drugs and alcohol are out of their system. Once they identify their unique addictive behaviors, they must learn how to manage those thoughts and urges on a regular basis. Successful management of cravings, triggers and other addictive behaviors is the foundation of positive long-term recovery outcomes.
A strong relapse prevention plan is like a roadmap guiding you toward continued sobriety.
