Overview
Understanding relapse prevention
Relapse is often preceded by emotional stress, isolation, old friendships, cravings, conflict or overconfidence. A prevention plan turns these warning signs into practical action steps.
Professional support matters because addiction rarely affects only one part of life. Treatment looks at health, triggers, behaviour, family relationships and the support system needed after discharge.
