Relapse Prevention

Our Relapse Prevention Program

Every person’s path to recovery is distinct, and so are the challenges they face in preventing relapse. New Experience Recovery designs relapse prevention strategies that cater specifically to each client’s unique circumstances, triggers, and lifestyle. Our comprehensive approach includes:

• Identifying Personal Triggers: We assist clients in pinpointing specific triggers such as stressful situations, particular individuals or places, and emotional states that may heighten the risk of relapse.

• Developing Healthy Coping Mechanisms: Clients are taught effective techniques to manage cravings and stress, including mindfulness, meditation, deep breathing exercises, and engaging in physical activities.

• Setting Achievable Goals: Together with our clients, we establish realistic short-term and long-term goals, fostering a sense of accomplishment and ongoing motivation to maintain sobriety.

Therapy and peer support are a cornerstones of our relapse prevention program, offering a safe space for clients to explore their thoughts and engage with others on the same path. Our therapeutic approaches include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed therapy while our peer support methodologies involves both the traditional 12-step programs as well as non-12-step program.

The journey to lasting sobriety involves continuous learning and robust support even after leaving our facility. Our comprehensive approach integrates ongoing education and aftercare resources to ensure our clients have the knowledge and tools they need to maintain their sobriety.

Our educational sessions cover essential topics to empower our clients while our aftercare resources provide a robust toolset for sustained sobriety. Some of these tools include:

• Recognizing Relapse Warning Signs: Education on identifying early signs of relapse and taking proactive steps to prevent it is a core component of our program.

• Promoting Healthy Lifestyle Choices: Information on nutrition, exercise, and sleep hygiene is shared to support overall well-being, which is critical in the recovery process.

• Alumni Programs: Our alumni network provides continued support and community involvement, offering a platform for clients to stay connected and share their experiences.

• Resources and Referrals: We offer access to additional resources and referrals to local support services and healthcare providers, ensuring that clients have the necessary support systems in place as they reintegrate into their communities.
