Relapse prevention teaches the client

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Relapse prevention typically involves teaching clients how to identify high-risk situations and develop alternative responses to those situations that do not involve drug use. This may include strategies for managing stress, avoiding triggers, seeking support from others, and changing negative thought patterns. Saying "no" to drugs and reducing peer pressure may be part of the overall relapse prevention plan, but they are not the sole focus. Likewise, controlled drinking is not typically a goal in addiction treatment, as it can be difficult to maintain for people with substance use disorders.
