Cumberland Heights’ Drug Relapse Prevention Program is for individuals who have suffered relapse after maintaining some period of recovery from chemical dependence. It offers a specialized process guided by trained counselors to allow discovery of what contributed to the relapse. Specific obstacles to an individual’s recovery are identified, as well as examination of the underlying issues that contribute to the relapse process. These issues may include past or present dysfunction in the family, childhood abuse, abandonment, or other trauma.
Additionally, the program helps participants identify individual relapse warning signs and learn specific skills that will aid in preventing additional relapses. If needed, time is spent understanding substitute behavioral addictions that can contribute to post-treatment relapses. Such substitute addictions may include addiction to food, sex, work or gambling.
Cumberland Heights’ Relapse Prevention Program offers a supportive environment and the particular assistance needed to understand and consciously disarm the unresolved issues that block a person’s ability to move forward in recovery.
Prior to discharge, an individualized drug relapse prevention plan is designed with each patient to further strengthen the individual’s recovery plan.
