		These inves tigators formulated a cognitive-behavioral analysis of relapse, positing that relapse is influenced by the interaction of conditioned high-risk environmental situations, skills to cope with the high-risk situations, level of perceived personal control (self-efficacy), and the anticipated positive effects of alcohol.
		An analysis of 48 episodes revealed that most relapses were associated with three high-risk situations: (1) frustration and anger, (2) social pressure, and (3) interpersonal temptation (17).
		There is continuing and growing concern among clinicians about the high rate of relapse among their patients, and the increasingly adverse consequences of continuing disease.

		This is rare, however, and even if the relapse appears to be spontaneous, it is usually preceded by the building up of a hidden relapse mode and a growth of factors, which were not readily identifiable.

		We define Relapse Prevention as a strategy to train alcohol and other drug abusers to cope more effectively and to overcome the stressors or triggers in their environments related to alcoholism and drug addiction that may cause relapse to build into chemical dependency.
		In addiction treatment (or drug treatment) Relapse may easily be defined as returning to a specific behavior after a period of abstinence (stopping) from that particular behavior, that is, drug abuse.
		As the risk of relapse is highest during this period of stabilization, it's most advantageous to be in a controlled environment.

		Relapse can be understood as not only the actual return to the pattern of substance abuse, but also as the process during which indicators appear prior to the patient's resumption of substance use (Daley, 1987).
		Relapse, however, is not an automatic sentence to a lifetime of substance abuse for an individual.
		Because relapse is a common occurrence during the process of substance abuse recovery, it is imperative that it be examined carefully.

	Developing A Relapse Prevention Plan
		Relapse prevention planning probably won't work unless the relapser is sober and in control of themselves.

		Relapsers need to take inventory work seriously because most warning signs are deeply entrenched habits that are hard to change and tend to automatically come back whenever certain problems or stresses occur.

		Preventing or minimizing these periods of heightened symptom, or relapses, is a critical aspect of recovery from the illness.
		A key aspect of successful relapse prevention is acting quickly and thoughtfully at the first sign of a symptom flare-up.
		Often, if warning signs are recognized early, only a small action may be required–perhaps just talking with the patient to remind him or her to take his/her medication as prescribed, or seeing if there is a way to help the patient reduce stress.

	NIDA NOTES - Men and Women in Drug Abuse Treatment Relapse at Different Rates and for Different Reasons
		The scientists found that the women in their sample were less likely than the men to relapse: only 22 percent of the women compared to 32 percent of the men relapsed to drug use in the 6 months between interviews.
		The investigators found that, although the women were more likely than the men to maintain a social network, they were no more likely than men to receive emotional support for their problems and encouragement to stop using drugs.
		What did appear to explain the difference in relapse was the fact that the women were more likely to engage in treatment, particularly group counseling, says Dr. Fiorentine.
