About Relapse Prevention Counseling Training
This 3-Day Relapse Prevention Counseling (RPC) Training Program is designed to teach skills for the identification and management of high-risk situations that can cause relapse in early recovery before a stable recovery program has been established. This clinical skills training is based upon a standard RPC Treatment Plan for managing high-risk situations using cognitive-behavioral therapy procedures and is fully compatible with sobriety-based treatment and Twelve Step Principles. Each step of the standard treatment plan is explained, demonstrated, and practiced either in-group or in individual therapy formats with plenty of opportunities for personalized discussion and feedback.
This training is instructor-led with most time requiring participants to be actively engaged. Training methods include brief lectures, clinical demonstrations, small group exercises, role play, and large group discussions. Training participants will leave the training with several clinical skills that can be used in their practice immediately.
Continuing Education
For our 3-day Training Program, participants who attend all 3 days will receive 20 CE credit hours and a Certificate of Completion. Please note, participants must be present for the entire training to receive the education credits and certificate of participation.
