A New Direction: Relapse Prevention Workbook

Created in partnership with the Minnesota Department of Corrections, A New Direction (AND) is a flexible, evidence-based, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) curriculum that treats addiction in justice-involved clients and is proven to reduce recidivism. The updated and revised curriculum is divided into seven core topics, with all new companion videos and a Facilitator Guide to better serve clients.

Justice-involved clients learn what causes relapse, how to recognize common triggers, and other methods for preventing relapse. This module also offers guidance for building a relapse prevention plan and informs clients of what they should do if they relapse. Workbooks include quick review exercises to reinforce lessons, reflection exercises that bridge content with real-life experience, and Thinking Reports to ensure treatment methods are part of ongoing aftercare.
