Main description:

The high rate of relapse, the return to compulsive behaviors, in recovering clients is one of the most heartbreaking obstacles in the treatment of active addiction. Identifying triggers and behaviors in this population is essential. The Relapse Toolkit is a crucial tool for any professional working in the treatment field. It can be used effectively within a group orientation or with an individual participant. This toolkit contains 38 modules, each with pertinent didactic, reproducible handouts. There are several sessions that include the opportunity for guided imagery.

Session titles include Overconfidence, Control, Feelings, Relationships, Multi-addictions, Secrets, plus many more to choose from and create a format for your specific needs. Sessions can be condensed or expanded by use of opening and closing rituals, time offered to complete exercises, and depth of discussion. The author encourages the user to be creative, know the needs of the participants, and bring their own style of work into the process.
