A Relapse Prevention Approach

At Confidential Counseling Services, Inc. I have chosen to adopt Relapse Prevention as it's primary focus, because of the high rate of relapse following traditional treatment.

I believe addiction is a disease that is chronic, progressive, treatable but not curable. It is a disease that can be placed in remission but is also prone to relapse.

I believe both the disease and its Relapse are best treated through physical stabilization, psychological education, self-confrontation and social rehabilitation.

I believe those seeking treatment are not guilty for having their disease but are responsible for its management.

I believe abstinence is the beginning of the recovery process. Full recovery is total lifestyle change.

I believe relapse is a Process not an event. A process that can be Identified, Interrupted and Managed.
