You may know that Change happens gradually, so does Recovery.

How about Relapse?

We often forget that this too, happens gradually. Return to undesired behaviour can begin weeks and sometime months before an individual actually succumbs to unhealthy coping again. The goal of Relapse Prevention treatment is to help individuals recognize the early warning signs of relapse and to develop coping skills to prevent relapse early in the process, when the chances of success are greatest.
