Relapse Prevention Strategies

Relapse prevention strategies are methods to help individuals maintain positive changes and avoid returning to previous harmful behaviors. They involve identifying situations, triggers, or feelings that increase the risk of relapse, and developing skills to manage them effectively. Techniques include planning ahead for challenging times, building strong support networks, practicing stress reduction, and staying committed to goals. The goal is to increase awareness of risks and equip oneself with practical tools to handle setbacks, ultimately supporting long-term change and overall well-being.
