The Dilworth Center Relapse Prevention Program was developed for individuals needing to strength their recovery program and prevent relapse. Often times, individuals successfully complete their treatment programs as recommended, and upon completion, desire on-going support to transition into the community. Newly recovering persons are faced with the task of negotiating the terrain of drugs and alcohol in social and medical situations with minimal support. Some persons in recovery find they struggle to maintain balance in their lives while making recovery a priority.

The Relapse Prevention is designed to help individuals identify triggers, high risk situations, and other issues that might impact recovery efforts as they reintegrate themselves back into society where drugs and alcohol were once a major component of their daily functioning.

The Relapse Prevention Program consists of a combination of individual and group therapy sessions. Patients with at least one prior treatment experience can be admitted into the relapse prevention program; however, a full assessment must be completed prior to each admission.

• Group sessions - Group sessions are held once a week from 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm.
• Individual sessions - Individual sessions are scheduled based on counselor and patient availability and need.
• Urine drug screens - Urine drug screens are incorporated into the program to provide patient accountability.
• Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA) - Throughout the Relapse Prevention Program, each patient is required to continue participating in meetings of Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous, stay connected to their sponsors and continue attending home group meetings. Attendance at a minimum of three meetings per week is required.
