RELAPSE PREVENTION THERAPY
Relapses can be common within recovery and we see this as part of the process in achieving your sobriety. For individuals who are struggling with urges due to addiction, relapse prevention therapy can help individuals work on attaining more sobriety over time. The practice utilizes CBT and smart recovery techniques with the goal of helping the individual increase their level of sobriety. Smart Recovery is based on scientifically validated treatments and approaches that help individuals with urges, learn skills, and navigate thoughts & feelings that lead to relapse. The therapist works one-on-one to be sure you are understanding concepts and learning the skills needed to help manage your recovery. You also actively work on managing your current triggers in a safe way.
For individuals struggling to control their drug or alcohol problems or those who have began the sobriety process, relapse prevention therapy can be beneficial as either a starting point to beginning your recovery process or as follow-up care once an individual has completed a residential program or an intensive outpatient program (IOP). Oceanside Psychology Clinic understands the importance of the aftercare process related to recovery and will work closely with your program, sober living, or medical doctor.
