维持禁欲和防止复发

如果您为您的药物或酒精问题寻求专业治疗，并设法实现禁欲大约三个月，您可能已进入康复或恢复的第三阶段，称为维护禁欲。

如果您已经干净和清醒了90天，您现在需要将您在早期禁止的工具中学到维护您的清醒并避免复发。维持禁欲是第三个恢复的四个阶段or rehab defined by the National Institute on Drug Abuse:

1. 治疗开始
2. Early abstinence
3. Maintenance of abstinence
4. 高级恢复

继续生活方式

After 90 days, you are probably no longer in the住宅康复设施, if you received inpatient treatment, and you have entered the follow-up or continuing phase of your rehab. Although you still have regular contact with your counselor and attend support group meetings, maintaining your recovery is basically up to you.

为了保持禁欲，重要的是：

• 避免环境触发器。
• 认识到自己的心理社会和情感触发器。
• Develop healthy behaviors to handle life's stresses.

防止复发

People get in trouble when they let their guard down after their早期的成功。重要的是，你不把你的清醒理所当然，你认识到上瘾的力量。保持恢复导向的态度至关重要。

Changes in attitudes, feelings, and behaviors can quickly lead you to a relapse.

认识到复发过程

当你拿起饮料或药物时，复发不会开始。这是一种渐进的过程，标志着你的态度，感受和行为的负面变化。您的后续辅导员将与您合作，帮助您识别这些警告标志，并在开始转向复发路径时，制定更改方向的计划。

Research has shown that an alcohol or drug relapse is preceded by a recognizable set ofwarning signsor steps that you can learn to recognize and therefore avoid. Your counselor will help you recognize in your own life the distinct steps or phases that occur prior to a full-blown relapse.

Developing a Healthy Plan

如果您留在专业后续康复咨询，您的辅导员将尽力帮助您确定您的生活中可能开始偏离您健康的恢复计划的情况。但更重要的是，它们将帮助您设置混凝土，行为变更，将使您退出复发过程。
