Addition Relapse Prevention Therapy (RPT) is a type of cognitive-behavioral therapy. RPT aims to limit or prevent relapses by helping the therapy client to anticipate circumstances that are likely to provoke a relapse.

You can develop strategy to cope with these high-risk situations in advance. This is termed a relapse prevention plan. For instance, therapy clients learn that certain feelings are common triggers for relapse.

We summarize these feelings with the acronym BHALT: bored, hungry, angry, lonely, and tired. Addiction relapse prevention therapy teaches therapy clients to be alert for these types of feelings and to have a plan of action for coping with them.

RPT also teaches clients to place relapse into the proper perspective. When a recovering person has a relapse, they frequently interpret this as a failure. A person can believe that such a “failure” is evidence of their inability to recover.

Of course, if someone believes they are unable to recover there really is no point in trying. Based on this (false) conclusion, the recovering person sees no option but to return to their addiction in earnest.

RPT seeks to prevent this misinterpretation by representing relapses as prolapses. In other words, relapses are reinterpreted as opportunities for learning and improving coping skills.

This perspective serves to keep relapses as time-limited and harmless as possible. Viewed in this manner, they might be also termed “slips” or “lapses” rather than relapses.
