Relapse roadmap

Relapse roadmaps also can be used to increase awareness about apparendy irrelevant decisions. Using the roadmap, you can walk the client down the path she or he has planned for her- or himself so that the long-term consequences of choosing this path become illuminated. The client may not be aware of how the first turn on the map is risky, but when you start asking the client about each subsequent decision about where she or he goes next, then the risk of the chosen path may become more apparent. The relapse roadmap can be quite a useful method for understanding both past and future relapse chains of events.
