Relapse Prevention Training Is Based On Social Learning Theory

  • Addictive behavior is a habitual, inadequate way to cope with negative and positive stress
  • Research shows individuals can be genetically susceptible to addiction, particularly alcohol addiction
  • Research also shows that if clients take responsibility for learning new thinking patterns and behaviors, they can manage their genetic and social vulnerabilities to addiction
  • You learned what to expect, how and when to use
  • You can learn to end addiction by developing the coping skills required to succeed
