Key to Relapse Prevention Treatment for Addiction? Think Outside the Box

    KANSAS CITY, MO, September 17, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- One of the biggest issues in addiction treatment is the high rate of relapse for patients. One of the most successful treatment facilities for relapse treatment and prevention is Challenges, a facility in Fort Lauderdale Florida.

Challenges is the first treatment center to have been awarded the prestigious national certification as a "Center of Excellence" in relapse treatment and prevention.

"We believe it's important to think outside the box in order to create successful programs for recovery, especially with clients who have a history of relapse. We are always pushing ourselves, seeking new ways to support our clients. For example, right now we are working with some of the world's leading technology research experts to create treatment support using new technology. We call our intensive continuing care support plan "Technology Enhanced Recovery" . We want to give our clients all the tools they need to help them identify their own particular warning signals and trigger mechanisms."
