Traditional relapse prevention methods create vulnerabilities in long-term recovery.
will your recovery withstand the impact of unimaginable loss?
You may ask...
"Why do I need MORE than a strong recovery program to protect long-term sobriety?"
...the truth is:
NO MATTER HOW STRONG your RECOVERY PROGRAM is,
no matter how long you've been sober,
EVENTS will HAPPEN THAT WILL rock your foundation.
- Death of a loved one
- Financial ruin
- Divorce
- Medical Emergency
- Career-ending event
Catastrophic losses happen:
Grief and its impact on recovery
When catastrophic loss strikes,
it is accompanied by an
overwhelming
onslaught of emotions...
Chief among them:
Unfortunately, Grief is often Treated
as an ‘Outside Issue’ in Recovery
Programs & is Often Ignored
When developing Relapse
Prevention Plans.
Yet it is a Core Cause
of unshakable Anguish
that can make the
numbness of active
addiction seem like a
viable solution to the pain
Even to those who have
achieved Long-Term Sobriety
Why Recovery Programs Alone Are Not Enough
RECOVERY PROGRAMS help build stability by developing sober behaviors. RELAPSE PREVENTION PLANS add strategies to cope with daily stressors & mitigate known triggers. Each of these components serves as an integral "thread" woven together to create a metaphorical "recovery net" to protect sobriety.
But these plans are NOT built to anticipate and manage unforeseen, yet inevitable, tragic, life-altering events.
These events HIT HARD.
Hard enough to stretch the ‘THREADS’ of anyone's 'RECOVERY NET' and that creates holes through which a person can fall toward relapse.
So...the unexpected loss not only changes your life situation, it also endangers your recovery, threatening to restart the revolving door of 'RELAPSE-ADDICTION-TREATMENT-RECOVERY' and all of the drama that comes along with it
end the cycle of Relapse
Relapse is much more about addiction than recovery.
Too many believe that they can relapse and simply "keep coming back."
Tragically, far too many never find their way back, often resulting in overdose and death.
