Clients who have recently achieved sobriety from their addiction, or those who have struggled with relapse, will benefit from this printout. This worksheet includes ten brief tips to help clients avoid relapse.

We suggest picking out a few items from the list that you believe apply to your client to discuss in greater detail.
