Relapse Prevention Therapy

About this session

Relapse Prevention Therapy (RPT) is a cognitive-behavioural approach designed to support individuals in maintaining long-term recovery from addictive behaviours. By focusing on identifying and managing high-risk situations, RPT equips clients with the skills and strategies to sustain positive changes and avoid returning to old patterns. It is widely used in substance use recovery but is also effective for addressing other habitual behaviours.

What to Expect

RPT sessions focus on helping clients recognise potential triggers and develop a personalised toolkit to manage them effectively. Therapy often involves exploring thought patterns, building healthy coping mechanisms, and practising behavioural strategies in a supportive and practical setting. Clients may also learn mindfulness and relaxation techniques to manage stress and enhance emotional well-being. Sessions are tailored to the individual’s unique experiences and recovery goals.

Outcomes

Relapse Prevention Therapy empowers individuals to take control of their recovery journey by building awareness and resilience. Clients gain practical tools to navigate challenges, strengthen their commitment to change, and reduce the likelihood of relapse. With enhanced self-confidence and a deeper understanding of their triggers, individuals can maintain lasting recovery and improve their overall quality of life.
