This was my first time ever coming to rehab and I can honestly say that this is the best experience and journey I’ve had in finding my self and getting sober. The staff at Live Oak actually pay attention to you and show you that they are here for you and your journey is sobriety and they have all the tools to help you if you truly want the help. As I was one that truly wanted the help and I can say I couldn’t have chosen a better place to start my journey in sobriety.

Live Oak and the phenomenal staff made my at first- scary journey into recovery into a life-changing experience. I am from Minnesota and took a flight within 2 hours of calling and instantly felt safe when I arrived. I learned healthy tools for recovery and coping skills I never thought of and the staff (especially Amanda!!!) were genuine and kind to everyone. This will be the best decision of your life.

The staff is great there and makes sure you are well taken care of. Food is good and snacks are available all times of the day. The nurse and doctor made sure they gave me the correct medications to detox and afterwards.

My experience at Live Oak surpassed all of my expectations. The staff are caring and very knowledgeable. The classes provided me with a wealth of knowledge, that pertained to a wide range of substances and addictions. I left feeling confident and educated to maintain my sobriety. If anyone that is reading this needs help, give them a call NOW. You will not be disappointed. God bless you all.

Place saved my son’s life. Individualized care. He said everyone genuinely cared about him for the first time and he has unfortunately  been to other treatment centers. He’s been sober 6 months now.

Amazing staff, makes you feel at home. Best working environment i’ve ever experienced all thanks to everyone involved. Beautiful facility, it’s smaller which is better because you get more one on one care. Love it 10/10

The Importance of Relapse Prevention

Relapse prevention is a crucial component of effective substance abuse treatment. It helps individuals in recovery maintain sobriety by equipping them with the skills and strategies needed to manage cravings, triggers, and high-risk situations. This therapy enables individuals to understand what leads to substance use and how to develop healthy coping mechanisms. Relapse prevention takes many forms, with cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) being one of the primary approaches used to achieve these goals. By integrating relapse prevention into treatment, individuals can build a strong foundation for long-term recovery.

What is Relapse Prevention?

Relapse prevention is a vital aspect of addiction recovery. At Live Oak Detox, our team prioritizes teaching relapse prevention skills. Here are some strategies that are taught in our program that can help prevent relapse:

R

Identify and Manage Triggers

Recognize the people, places, emotions, or situations that may trigger cravings or temptations to use substances. Avoid or minimize exposure to these triggers as much as possible. If you cannot avoid them completely, develop coping strategies to deal with them effectively.
R

Engage in Healthy Activities

Engage in activities that promote physical, emotional, and mental well-being. Find hobbies, exercise, practice mindfulness or meditation, pursue creative outlets, or participate in support group meetings. These positive activities can help fill the void left by substance use and contribute to overall well-being.
R

Build Healthy Coping Mechanisms

Develop alternative coping mechanisms for managing stress, pain, or difficult emotions. This may include practicing relaxation techniques, deep breathing exercises, engaging in physical activity, writing in a journal, or speaking with a counselor. The key is to find healthy ways to cope rather than turning to drugs or alcohol.
R

Set Realistic Goals and Celebrate Milestones

Set realistic goals for your recovery journey and celebrate each milestone achieved. Breaking down long-term objectives into smaller, achievable steps can provide a sense of accomplishment and motivation to continue on the path of recovery.
R

Create a Relapse Prevention Plan

Work with our staff to develop a relapse prevention plan specific to your needs. This plan should include coping strategies, emergency contacts, potential triggers, and steps to take if cravings or temptations arise.

It’s important to remember that relapse does not mean failure. If a relapse occurs, it’s crucial to seek support immediately, reassess your plan, and learn from the experience. Recovery is a process, and setbacks can be used as opportunities for growth and learning.

Relapse prevention therapy can increase the durability of your long-term substance abstinence. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is well-suited for this task. In CBT, you learn how to:

R

R
Avoid those triggers whenever it’s practical to do so.
R
Cope with triggers you cannot avoid.
R
Recognize the early indicators of relapse in progress.
R
Nurture thoughts, emotional reactions, and behaviors that support your sobriety.

Several different CBT treatment strategies can help you achieve these goals. Your therapist will pick a strategy that fits your particular situation.
