Relapse Prevention Program
The Relapse Prevention Program is a program designed specifically for individuals who need additional support to maintain their sobriety or abstinence. Our team is dedicated to helping people find the tools and strategies that lead them to lasting recovery.
Our Approach To Relapse Prevention
South Pacific Private is Australia’s leading treatment centre for addiction rehabilitation. We recognise that overcoming a substance or behavioural dependency is a remarkable milestone, but we emphasise that continued effort is essential for lasting transformation and improved quality of life. As a part of the program, clients will work on a relapse prevention plan and develop strategies to navigate their recovery. The Relapse Prevention Program also provides them with the tools, education, and ongoing accountability to prevent potential relapses and/or assist those who have relapsed into recommitting to their program with the support of others.
This program is facilitated by qualified and experienced clinicians who provide a wealth of knowledge and support in addiction recovery.
