Building Recovery Resilience: Addiction Recovery and Relapse Prevention Workbook - An I-System Model Application

The first workbook for individuals progressing through the Recovery Resilience Program for addiction recovery and relapse prevention. The book presents practices derived from the I-System Model and the evidence-based intervention Mind-Body Bridging that enhance 'recovery resilience' - a term we use to refer to an individual's capacity to effectively apply coping and self-regulation skills in dealing with cravings, triggers, stress, and high-risk situations without reverting to substance use and therefore assists in preventing relapse. Each chapter corresponds to a session in the program and introduces various recovery resilience practices and explains why they're important for recovery. Readers can familiarise themselves with these practices through various exercises, which they can complete before moving on to the next chapter. The program helps individuals to draw upon and use their recovery capital (e.g., skills, tools, knowledge, etc.), removing barriers along the way and strengthening their internal resources, to ultimately reach recovery and life goals.
