Our Relapse Prevention Program is specifically designed to help anyone who needs to strengthen their recovery and prevent relapse.
Relapse Prevention
Relapse is a common challenge in the journey to recovery from substance use disorders, but with the right support, it can be effectively managed. At Dilworth Center, our Relapse Prevention Program is specifically designed to help individuals strengthen their recovery and maintain long-term sobriety. As a leading Charlotte treatment center, we are committed to providing comprehensive addiction treatment that includes robust strategies for preventing relapse.
Our program focuses on equipping newly recovering individuals with the skills and tools they need to navigate social, medical, and everyday situations where they might encounter triggers. Our relapse prevention strategies are tailored to meet the specific needs of patients who have completed the Dilworth Center Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP).
Our Relapse Prevention Program is specifically designed to help anyone who needs to strengthen their recovery and prevent relapse.
“Dilworth Center’s Relapse Prevention program is a great way to transition back to life outside of treatment. It helps you move forward with a changed life… a new outlook… a fresh start.”
