Drugs or alcohol can seem to provide relief for depression, stress, or other feelings that are hard to cope with. Unfortunately, the temporary relief they provide can lead to addiction. Those who try to stop using drugs or alcohol on their own may be unable to successfully kick the habit. That’s why relapse prevention therapy is so important. Relapse prevention treatment helps those struggling with substance use disorders to build a better future for themselves.
At Virtue Recovery Las Vegas, we provide relapse prevention therapy to help Las Vegas residents break free from addiction. Our programs are tailored to meet the individual needs of each client, helping them set achievable goals and a plan for recovery.

Why Preventing Relapse Is So Important
Relapse is common among those struggling with substance use disorders. A return to use after a period of abstinence is a risk for anyone recovering from addiction. One of the dangers of relapse is that it can lead to more negative consequences, including a heightened risk of overdose or death. Because many people will experience a relapse during the recovery process, relapse prevention programs are essential for keeping them safe.
Relapse prevention therapy can help clients learn how to identify and control their triggers as well as create positive coping strategies to manage cravings. Through one-on-one counseling, group therapy, or cognitive behavioral therapy, those in recovery can learn how to recognize and address high-risk behaviors and situations.
Some of the most common triggers for relapse include:
- Stressful situations or emotions
- Negative self-talk
- Isolation or loneliness
- Being around people who use drugs or alcohol
- Exposure to drug paraphernalia
- Traumatic experiences
- While in therapy, clients can learn how to address these triggers and cope with them in healthier ways.
The Benefits of Relapse Prevention Therapy
Relapse prevention therapy can be a powerful tool to help those in recovery from substance use disorders stay on track. The benefits of relapse prevention therapy include the following:
Improved Communication and Problem-Solving Skills
When clients learn how to communicate their needs effectively, they are better able to develop and strengthen relationships.
Strategies for Dealing with Triggers
Through relapse prevention therapy, those in recovery can learn how to identify and avoid triggers and create positive coping strategies for when cravings arise.
Increased Self-Awareness
Clients can gain an understanding of their strengths and weaknesses, allowing them to better recognize how to respond in certain situations.
