It’s important for anyone who experiences a return to use to remember that this doesn’t mean failure. In fact, the road to recovery is one an individual will travel for the rest of their life. Some days are easier than others, but constant awareness is needed for lasting success. Foothills at Red Oak Recovery® provides relapse prevention therapy designed to meet the needs of adolescent boys who have been in recovery for at least 90 days and have experienced a recent use episode or are about to.
Based on the Gorski-CENAPS model of recovery and relapse prevention, clients will receive a minimum of 25 hours of clinical care per week by master’s level, dually licensed (substance use and mental health) clinicians as well as work with a Gorski-trained clinical professional. The focus is placed on individual thoughts, feelings, urges, actions, and reactions around triggers and returns to use in a gender-separate environment over the course of three weeks. To learn more about our adolescent therapy programs, call 828.519.5047 today.
Why Is Teen Relapse Prevention So Important?
Relapse prevention therapy is crucial, especially for adolescent boys, because, honestly, this stage of life is just filled with significant changes and pressures. Think of it as navigating a very tricky level in a video game, where numerous obstacles and challenges pop up everywhere. That’s what teen boys are essentially dealing with.
Throw in the complexity of overcoming substance use, and it’s clear why having a relapse prevention plan matters. It’s not just about dodging the big stuff. It’s learning the skills to deal with everyday triggers and stresses without hitting the reset button on their recovery progress.
The importance of relapse prevention goes beyond just keeping the teen boys on the straight and narrow. It’s about giving them the toolkit to build confidence, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and essentially craft a life they’re excited to live.
Plus, when adolescent boys learn these skills early on, they’re setting themselves up for success in all facets of life. It’s like equipping them with a map, a compass, and a solid pair of hiking boots for their life’s journey. Not only does it prepare them to face whatever comes their way, but it also empowers them to make positive choices, inspiring a ripple effect that can touch their friends, families, and communities.
