Relapse is one of the toughest realities in addiction recovery. For many clients, the desire to stay sober is strong—but the ability to sustain it long-term often falls short. Without the right tools, even well-meaning clients find themselves caught in the same cycle, unable to stop the slide once it begins. Relapse isn’t just a moment of weakness; it’s a predictable process that can be identified, interrupted, and managed—if you know how.

This training teaches you exactly that. You’ll discover how to recognize when a client is entering relapse mode, what those warning signs mean, and how to apply practical interventions to stop the cycle in its tracks. From identifying high-risk situations and emotional triggers, to creating personalized relapse prevention plans, you’ll gain the tools to guide clients toward lasting change. We’ll also cover the balance between abstinence and harm reduction, helping you tailor your approach to each individual’s needs.

By the end of this course, you’ll have a clear framework and real-world strategies you can use immediately with clients. You’ll understand not only why relapse happens, but also how to help clients build resilience, reframe setbacks, and replace destructive habits with healthier routines. This isn’t theory—it’s hands-on relapse prevention you can trust, designed for counselors, recovery coaches, sober coaches, and mental health caseworkers who want to make a measurable impact.
