When it comes to recovery, most people think of it as a “destination”. More accurately, it’s a journey, and the last thing we want is for our Clients to lose themselves on the road. That’s why our staff teaches our Clients relapse prevention techniques.

Relapse Prevention
Inevitably, people, places and things evoke an urge to use during the recovery process. At Serenity Lodge, our experienced counselors—many of whom underwent their own recovery journeys—teach strategies to cope with those triggers. Understanding the motivation behind your addiction promotes progress.
What Is Relapse Prevention?
Whether individuals have been sober for 10 years or 10 days, the risk of relapse will always exist. Even after years of sobriety, triggers and temptations never truly go away. For this reason, it’s vital that Clients at Serenity Lodge receive comprehensive relapse prevention education. Relapse prevention involves developing a plan to cope with stressful situations and triggers that may arise post-treatment. With help of therapists and counselors—many of whom are in active recovery and have been in your shoes—individuals will have a comprehensive game plan for navigating everyday life.
Possible Relapse Warning Signs
Regardless of where you are in your recovery, it’s important to know possible relapse signs. The sooner you recognize them, the better your chances will be to overcome them. During relapse prevention planning, you’ll learn about possible red flags that could lead to a setback. Some signs include:
- Beginning to miss recovery support meetings
- Thinking about times you had fun abusing drugs or alcohol
- Withdrawing from social interaction
- Becoming overconfident in your sobriety
- Hanging with old friends who still actively use
Resources for Combating Relapse
Initially, Clients will collaborate with trusted professionals to develop a baseline strategy for relapse prevention during addiction therapy. Keep in mind, however, that recovery is a journey and not a destination. It takes ongoing maintenance to ensure that you stay on the right path.
