Relapse Prevention
Understanding the three stages of relapse is crucial for you as someone recovering from addiction, or someone who is trying to steer clear of unhealthy habits, as it provides a framework for recognizing and addressing potential setbacks. The stages—emotional, mental, and physical—highlight the progressive nature of relapse, allowing you and your support network to intervene at various points.
By comprehending these stages, you can develop proactive strategies to maintain your sobriety, foster a deeper self-awareness, and create a robust support system that addresses emotional and mental struggles before they culminate in a physical relapse. This knowledge is instrumental in fostering your lasting recovery.
