What is Relapse Prevention Therapy?
Relapse Prevention Therapy (RPT) is an integrative cognitive-behavioral technique that has its focuses on identifying high-risk situations and coping skills to avoid a relapse. RPT’s ultimate aim is to enable the participants to identify relapse indicators, acquire suitable ways of addressing these indicators, and remain committed to the process of transitioning to a sober lifestyle. In this way, RPT offers a holistic approach to sustaining recovery since it focuses on both the psychological and behavioral components of addiction.
RPT involves several key components:
- Education: Acquiring knowledge about the real nature of addiction and the process of relapse.

CBT assists in dealing with overall thought processes that are often dysfunctional about compulsive tendencies, while mindfulness can enhance understanding and acceptance of many of the cognitive and emotional processes without judgment. the psychological aspect of being a patient.

Living and getting Support from peers or relatives is important to keep the patient from reverting to his old habits. We also provide support groups so that you can be able to listen to different people facing similar conditions. Moreover, the participation of family members in the therapy process enhances that kind of supportive environment which will be rather helpful for the patient.
Stages of Relapse
Relapse is often a gradual process that can be broken down into three stages: the three main categories of relapse are; emotional, mental, and physical.
Emotional Relapse
In this stage, one does not necessarily think about the use of substances, however, emotions and behaviors promote relapse.
Signs of emotional relapse include:
- Anxiety
- Isolation
- Pathological and unsafe behaviors (e.g. not eating properly or not sleeping at all)
- Mood swings
Mental Relapse
In this type, there is internal conflict about using the substance again, and starts showing some motivation to stop the pattern of substance abuse. You get one part of you that says you want to remain sober, then there is another part of you that is contemplating using.
Signs include:
- Craving for substances
- Glamorizing past use
- Cheating, or being dishonest with yourself or others
- Planning a relapse around other people’s schedules
Physical Relapse
When one begins to take alcohol or any other substance that he or she has vowed to stop taking then physical relapse has occurred. This originally starts with a slip (first use) which if not detected early may result in a gross relapse.
