Understanding Relapse Prevention

Description

Relapse prevention (RP) is a broad term that refers to a wide range of therapeutic techniques that aid in the prevention of lapses and the relapse of addictive behaviours. The term relapse was initially used in the medical field to refer to those people who re-experience a disease stage (Marlatt and Donovan 2005). In the addiction field this term is commonly associated with returning to addictive behaviours/substances after a period of abstinence.
