Relapse Prevention
Relapse prevention involves developing strategies and techniques to anticipate and manage triggers, cravings, and risky situations that may lead to a return to substance use after completing a recovery program. Relapse prevention empowers individuals to maintain sobriety and prevent a recurrence of past behaviors associated with addiction.

Relapse Prevention Plan
Having a good relapse prevention plan in place is vital once you complete your treatment in either an inpatient or outpatient program.

- Stay vigilant about triggers and avoid high-risk situations.
- Maintain a balanced lifestyle with adequate sleep, nutrition, and self-care.

- Engage in self-assessment to monitor thoughts, emotions, and behaviors related to substance use.

- Exercise
- Mindfulness and meditation
- Attend a relapse prevention group meeting or therapy session

Do I Need to Detox Before Residential Treatment?

Day Treatment – Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP)
PHP treatment programs are day treatment programs that involves outpatient care. These programs work well for clients who need structured support but have jobs and families to take care of while getting treatment.
Will Insurance Cover Treatment?
Health insurance usually does pay for treatment for addiction to some degree. The extent of coverage or how much you will pay out of pocket for something like attending a relapse prevention outpatient treatment facility can vary depending on your policy. For example, insurance may only pay for relapse prevention groups or meetings that are available at accredited treatment centers.
PPO Insurance Coverage for Inpatient Treatment
Most rehabs that accept PPO insurance will be part of a provider network, but you do have more freedom to choose a provider with these plans. Be sure to talk to your insurer or chosen treatment facility about specific coverage amounts. Call us at (833) 999-1941 to see if your insurance will cover your treatment costs.
HMO Insurance Coverage for Inpatient Treatment
While there are rehabs that accept HMO insurance, including SBT, there may be a few more steps to obtain coverage. HMO plans may require you to obtain a preliminary referral to receive treatment from a mental health provider. We can verify your benefits in as little as an hour and we’re in-network with many insurance companies.
Detox Insurance Coverage
If you need detox before transitioning to another level of addiction treatment, insurance will most likely cover the cost of your treatment. Detox ensures you move through the withdrawal process as safely as possible under medical supervision.
