Course Description

Relapse Prevention Program


Getting sober is a major achievement, but staying sober is a lifelong skill. Our Relapse Prevention Program is an 8-hour, self-paced eLearning experience designed to provide the "maintenance manual" for your recovery. We move past basic abstinence to explore the psychological and environmental factors that lead back to substance use. Whether you are fulfilling a court requirement or seeking a personal safety net to protect your progress, this course offers a tactical, science-based approach to identifying warning signs before a lapse occurs.
