Possible Relapse Prevention Strategies
Below, you’ll find some of the top relapse prevention strategies that we recommend at Avalon Malibu. Don’t be afraid to tailor some methods so that they make sense for you and your own individual goals.
Overall Wellness
Focusing on your overall health and wellness can be a great way to prevent relapse. Consider investing some time in putting together a healthy diet and sticking to it. Another great thing to focus on is sleep. Making sure that you get enough sleep is a great way to focus on not only your recovery but also your mental health.
Community
One of the most important things to think about when it comes to relapse prevention is the community that you’re surrounding yourself with. By surrounding yourself with positive people who support your recovery, you can get some peace of mind and make sure that you’re not being encouraged to relapse.
Journaling
If you’re looking for an opportunity to learn more about yourself and your thoughts, then journaling could be the right option. There are so many different prompts you can use to promote your recovery. Consider journaling and using the following prompts the next time that you want to explore your recovery:
- Why did you first choose recovery?
- Who and what inspires you to continue your recovery?
- How will your life be different in five years if you continue with your recovery?
- Who can you lean on when you’re having a difficult moment?
