support throughout the entire recovery process
Relapse Prevention
The Bergand Group provides support throughout the entire recovery process for our clients. Our experience demands that we meet our clients at their needs, whether they have completed treatment at a residential setting or through one of our intensive outpatient programs. Relapse, or the return to heavy alcohol or drug use following a period of abstinence, unfortunately may occur in some clients who have completed a treatment program. It is our goal to prepare our clients with the insight and education into the risks and causes of relapse.
Mindfulness Based Relapse Prevention
Our Mindfulness Based Relapse Prevention is an evidence-based program that integrates cognitive behavioral relapse prevention skills with mindfulness practices. Mindfulness practices assist clients in “increasing awareness of triggers and habitual reactions, to develop a new relationship with these experiences and to learn concrete skills to use in high risk situations.” (Bowen, S., Chawla, N., and Marlatt, G.A. Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention for Addictive Behaviors: A Clinician’s Guide, New York: The Guilford Press, 2011.)
Our program is structured as follows:
- Evenings Wednesday 5:00 to 6:30 pm
- Eight week, rolling admission, preceded by an assessment and introduction to the content & process of the group
An Important Component of Acute and Post Acute Alcohol and Drug Treatment
Relapse prevention is an important component of acute and post acute alcohol and drug treatment.

Identifying
Identifying specific high-risk situations for each client and enhancing our clients’ skills for coping with those situations.
increasing
Increasing our clients’ confidence in recovery.
eliminating
Disproving and eliminating common misconceptions regarding the effects of alcohol and drugs.
Changing
