Relapse Plan

This is your plan for when you're at risk, slipping, or have already used. Having a plan reduces shame and gives you clear next steps.

I'm at Risk Tonight

If you feel like you might use tonight:

1. Remove access: (get rid of substances, money, contacts)
2. Reach out: (call/text someone from your support list)
3. Change location: (go somewhere safer, more public)
4. Use skills: (Cravings Right Now)
5. If still struggling: (Crisis Help Now)

I Already Used and I Need a Plan

If you've already used:

1. Safety first: (medical check if needed, remove access to more)
2. Regulate: (TIPP, breathing, soothe)
3. Don't use more: (one use doesn't mean you have to keep going)
4. Reach out: (tell someone, get support)
5. Debrief: (After Relapse)

I'm Close to Relapsing

If you're on the edge:

• Use your craving skills right now
• Check your early warning signs
• Review your sobriety plan
• Reach out immediately (don't wait)
• Do Pros & Cons (use vs. don't use)
