What Is Relapse Prevention?

Relapse prevention is a vital part of the recovery journey.

Our approach integrates clinical best practices with practical life skills to reduce the risk of returning to substance use.

At Blue Sky IOP, relapse prevention is not just about avoiding setbacks—it’s about building confidence, resilience, and a meaningful life in recovery.
