Opiate Relapse Prevention

Staying sober and preventing a relapse is one of the most common concerns faced after opiate detoxification. There are several reasons, some often lingering under the surface while others are more visible, why a huge number of individuals struggling with opiate addiction relapse after the detoxification process is complete.

On Its Own, Detoxification Is Barely Enough

To be hooked on opiates to the point where an individual needs to undergo detoxification, their use must be so regular that it becomes part of their lives on a day to day basis. Addicts need to rediscover how they can live their lives on an hourly or daily basis without using these drugs to have a chance at staying sober after completing the detoxification process.

Relapse triggers such as people, routines, places and habits must all change to achieve this. It is virtually impossible, in many cases, on one’s own to make all these changes without guidance and some level of therapy. Not knowing how to stay sober, and not the person’s desire to remain sober, tends to be the main challenge.

Trained treatment experts know how to communicate the knowledge which is essential for continued sobriety of the person recovering from an addiction to opiates.

Preventing Opiate Relapse at an emotional Level

One of the hidden reasons behind the destructive and addiction habits seen in most addicts is some form of internal pain or trauma. The risk of relapse increases exponentially and is always one stressful day away as long as these issues are not addressed and remain hidden. Low self esteem, abuse, broken or contentious relationships, serious surgery or injury, neglect, unresolved guilt, severe grief from a loss, mental health disorders that are co-occurring (such as addiction and mental health disorders resulting in a dual diagnosis) and PTSD are some of the commonly identified causes of an addict’s internal affliction.

Behind every turn you will find reminders of various traumatic experiences and triggers, making addressing any hidden problems internally, before going back to a domestic environment very important. The next step, once these personal issues are addressed, is developing coping skills and learning how to manage the emotions linked with these problems. To successfully manage victory, loss, guilt, trauma and stress, every individual must have coping skills. It is important, especially for addicts on the path to recovery, to understand their emotions and manage and express them in a positive way to ensure that they do not resort to numbing their pain using opiates once again.
