What is Relapse Prevention?

Relapse prevention is an important component of addiction recovery, as it allows you to participate in a process that ensures that you are on the right path of remaining alcohol and drug-free.

Because the recovery process will more than likely continue for the rest of your life, being mindful of emotional, mental, and physical relapses will boost your understanding of the addiction process.

It is important to note that relapse is not only considered the action of returning to alcohol or drug use, it is also linked to the emotional and mental process, which can start the relapse journey days or weeks before you start using again.
