Presenting on "Relapse  Prevention Counseling"

Course Abstract:

Relapse Prevention Counseling is based upon the concept that addictive behaviors are acquired, exercised habits with biological, psychological and social determinants and consequences. Engaging in an addictive behavior typically provides immediate rewards that increase pleasure and/or decrease pain.

Every client encounters a unique set of high-risk situations and possesses individual coping deficits and/or skills. Low motivation, low self-efficacy and anxiety are all barriers to patient coping. This presentation will also teach participants to initiate skills building and training directed toward replacing skills deficits with new, more effective tools.

Participants will learn that recovery from or change away from addictive behaviors includes disconnecting/ extinguishing pleasure seeking and/or pain reduction paired with alcohol or drug use, AND the development of effective and adaptive coping skills replacing addictive behaviors in achieving pleasure and/or pain relief.

Course Objectives:

1. Assess client’s potential interpersonal, intrapersonal, environmental and physiological risks for relapse and situations that may precipitate relapse.
2. Plan and implement cognitive and behavioral interventions to prevent or manage lapses, if they do occur(including denial and rationalization).
3. Teach broad strategies to develop lifestyle balance, respond to cravings, and counter cognitive distortions, and reduce stress that set up exposure to high risk situations where relapse is more likely (social support, exercise, meditation, diet, social relationships, spirituality, etc). 
4. Replace harmful indulgences (D&A) with adaptive “wants” that can provide pleasure and enjoyment or calming/stress reducing activities.
