Relapse Prevention
Any strategy or activity designed to assist an alcohol or other drug user who has become abstinent from returning to active alcohol or drug use. Relapse prevention also refers to specific cognitive-behavioral treatment that combines behavioral skill-training procedures with cognitive intervention techniques to help individuals maintain desired behavioral changes. It draws from both health psychology and social-cognitive therapy and uses a psycho educational self-management approach to substance abuse designed to teach patients new coping responses (e.g., alternatives to addictive behavior), to alter unhelpful beliefs and expectations concerning substance abuse, and to change personal habits and lifestyles. |

Relapse Prevention Plan
A shared understanding between the consumer, clinicians, and significant others of behaviors, feelings and thoughts that indicate the onset of symptom destabilization and those actions and activities that will prevent the continued progress of symptom destabilization.
