Getting Started
To enter the relapse prevention stay at The Bardo, it may be necessary for you to undertake a detox if relapse has already occurred. You must get through physical withdrawal symptoms before we can move forward with your recovery.
Relapse prevention treatment is an approach to substance abuse treatment that aims to identify and address the factors that could lead to your return to drug or alcohol use after a period of abstinence. Relapse prevention involves education on addiction and coping mechanisms, identifying your triggers and developing your coping skills to manage them. Additionally you will recognise where lifestyle choices can be made to support your sobriety, and build a support network that provides you with ongoing encouragement and support. We will help you address the reasons you may have relapsed, or are in danger of relapsing, and support you to continue with your long-term sobriety.
Please review our Detox program to learn how to get started if you have not completed Detox yet.
