How to Prevent Relapse: a Thorough
Addiction Treatment Plan
Identify the Warning Signs
◦ Relapse is not an immediate occurrence. It takes some time to take place while surfacing a
number of warning signs that can alert you about the potential risk of falling back into the
addictive practice. Learning about these warning signs can help you incorporate them in
your prevention plan and on their identification; you can consult your rehab program to gain
their help about how to work in controlling the drug temptation and staying sober.
Personal Triggers
◦ It is essential that you recognise your personal triggers or instigators pertaining to drug use
and addictive behaviours. It is imperative that you work on these triggers that can stimulate
relapse and make you fall back into the drug addiction.
Indulge in Healthy Activities
◦ After recovery, after controlling personal triggers, the most important thing is to know how
to manage your sober time. Sitting idle is one step closer to relapse. What you can do is to
indulge in activities that are safe and healthy.
Therapeutic Approach
◦ Post addiction recovery, it is important for you to take care of yourself physically as well as
mentally. Indulging in physical therapies strengthens you internally and externally.
Recovering from addiction can be tiring and weakening. It can leave you weary and can lead
towards various diseases.
