Twenty-three and a half million Americans are at risk of a relapse in their recovery, which sometimes leads to fatal overdoses. The good thing is that once a mental relapse comes into sight you or your loved one in recovery can prevent a physical relapse by utilizing coping skills acquired during addiction treatment and rehabilitation. If the thought of using becomes too great, individuals in recovery must seek help. Contacting a sponsor or trusted person who is aware of the recovering individuals’ journey can be a great help through the period of vulnerability. This is what sponsors, support groups and loved ones are there for – to support recovering individuals during their downtimes.
Our experience is that if after trying these strategies (sponsors, support groups and family) the temptations are not under control then there is the need to get help from professionals in the field who have experience with exactly what you are going through and know how to help.
The tips provided above are often part of an aftercare plan which is developed by a well-structured rehab program.

Aftercare is considered one of the most critical components of rehab for substance abuse and is essential for a successful transition back into the new sober lifestyle. Florida Center for Recovery aftercare plans include:
