• 40% of those who obtain help will relapse within the
first year,
• first three months being the most crucial
• addiction is a relapsing disease and that recovery is a
lifetime process
• To ensure effectivity of the program, random drug
tests are taken every month
 OBJECTIVES

to mainstream society
 FOCUS
Client
• Treatment does not end when a person graduates
from a program or is discharged from a facility.
• Such formal treatment only forms the foundation of
a recovery process that should continue for the rest
of the RDD’s life.
Family
– recovery can be successful if the family supports a
plan for ongoing sobriety
– family involvement is a must during treatment.
– Must actively be involved in recovery plan
RECOVERY AND RELAPSE PREVENTION PLAN

• the core of every aftercare program

• It is a dual approach targeting the client
and the family and must be:
 well-balanced,
 holistic, and
 comprehensive, addressing every area
of a person’s life
Recovery and relapse prevention plan includes
6 life areas as follows:
1. Physical - nutrition, exercise, rest and relaxation.
2. Mental - utilizes reading materials, attending live lectures,
meetings in support groups (like Narcotics Anonymous),
reinforcements in healthy thinking and putting good
thoughts into the mind.
3. Emotional - emotional recovery does not happen in
isolation. Emotional health requires group sessions where
feelings can be identified, expressed and managed.
4. Social – choice of friends
Negative social experiences must be countered by providing positive
alternatives as a family.
5. Spiritual –the guilt, shame, remorse are resolved. Finding purpose
and meaning is a good personal mission which the client (and family)
can initiate.
6. Productivity - “an idle mind is the devil’s playground”.
 unproductive are the best candidates for relapse
 school or work, dependents must establish a sense of usefulness
and busyness
 best avenue towards self-esteem
