Relapse Prevention
More Information about Relapse Prevention Relapse Prevention Therapy (RPT) was designed originally as a maintenance program to follow treatment of addictive behaviors. However, it also is used as a stand-alone treatment program. In the most general sense, RPT is a behavioral, self-control program to teach individuals who are trying to maintain changes in their behavior how to anticipate and cope with relapse. Relapse refers to a breakdown or failure in a person's attempt to maintain change in any set of behaviors.
