How can I help prevent relapse in my child who is in recovery?

Early recovery is a fragile yet exciting time for a teen or young adult – and nerve-wracking for parents. You can help your child by having them identify their personal triggers and support them in building a recovery-supportive lifestyle with healthy relationships, meaningful activities, and stress management skills. You may need to modify your home and lifestyle as well, considering things like keeping alcohol or other substances around where they could be a trigger for your child.
