Relapse Prevention Navigator Training
The Relapse Prevention Navigator Training™, is designed for those who have known the emotional challenges involved in caring for or supporting an addict whose recovery is unstable or is being diminished by a threatening history of relapse. The training is built around a simple but critical premise; the decision one makes to return to an addictive substance or behavioral pattern comes at the end of a process fraught with unsuccessful attempts to cope with cognitive, emotional, physical and/or spiritual discomfort. Since an addict returns to the “drug of choice” to change a feeling state, a successful relapse prevention plan will need to intervene on sources of discomfort and build strategies for healthy adaptive coping.
This training begins with helping individuals gain a mastery level understanding of the relapse prevention course material so that participants can help others discern and intervene on their own personal relapse process.
The training continues with a series experiential activities that will provide participants with the opportunity to present and experience psycho-educational lessons taken from the course sections to enhance their understanding of how to teach the course effectively to a diverse population with varying degrees of self-awareness and motivation.
