How to prevent relapse?
WHAT IS THE THEORY BEHIND RELAPSE PREVENTION? 1 Substance use has become the predominant coping response to meeting life’s challenges. Consequently, individuals with a substance use disorder cannot stop using because they lack the skills needed to cope with these challenges. The key to initiating and sustaining abstinence – that is, preventing relapse – is to develop a range of skills to cope with anticipated and potentially unforeseen challenges. 2 As people accumulate successful recovery experiences, their confidence or self-efficacy in solving life’s problems without substances increases, thereby making it increasingly more likely that they will choose to avoid or be able to cope with high-risk situations. 3 One assumption in RP models is that individuals are already motivated for abstinence or to reduce their drinking. Thus some evidence-informed clinicians may also use Motivational Interviewing (MI) or Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET) to address the varying levels of readiness to change that patients might possess when they present to treatment.
