Relapse Prevention Model

The Relapse Prevention Model is a strategy used primarily in addiction treatment to help individuals avoid going back to harmful behaviors after recovery. It involves identifying triggers—situations, thoughts, or feelings that may lead to relapse—and developing coping skills to manage these triggers effectively. The model emphasizes self-monitoring and planning for high-risk situations, teaching individuals how to recognize potential relapse signs and how to respond without reverting to old habits. Overall, it empowers people to maintain their progress and build a healthier lifestyle by preparing them for challenges they may face after treatment.
