Summary
Relapse is a common phenomenon, and therefore relapse prevention plays a signficant part in addiction treatment. To effectively prevent relapse, it is important to understand how relapse happens and who is most susceptible to it. We now recognize relapse as a multi-stage process occuring over time, rather than a singular event. Multile intrapersonal and interpersonal factors have been identified that influence the risk of relapse. When creating a relapse prevention plan, these factors must be taken into consideration in order for the individual to be successful.
