Relapse Prevention
Recovery does not end when detox is finished or when a treatment program closes. At Merritt Recovery, relapse prevention is built into your care plan from the start, giving you and your loved one practical skills to recognize early warning signs, manage triggers, and hold onto progress over time.
How Relapse Prevention Works in Treatment
Relapse prevention is a set of skills you practice with a clinician so you can recognize the early signs that pull you back toward drinking or using. A typical session looks like a working conversation. You and your therapist identify triggers, map out high-risk moments, and rehearse specific responses you can rely on when cravings or difficult emotions surface.
At Merritt Recovery, licensed clinicians build these skills into your wider treatment plan, not as a separate piece. As you or your loved one grow stronger, they adjust the plan to match where you are.
