CONTINUING RECOVERY
9-Month Relapse Prevention Program
Boreal's 9-Month Relapse Prevention Program extends recovery beyond intensive residential treatment through structured experiential activities, cognitive challenge, social learning and continued clinical reinforcement.
Rather than treating discharge as the end of the recovery process, the program creates repeated opportunities to practice and strengthen recovery-oriented patterns within increasingly real-world contexts.
BEYOND RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT
Recovery Is Built Through Repetition
Intensive residential treatment can establish important conditions for recovery, but those capacities must continue to be practiced and reinforced beyond the residential environment. Everyday life introduces changing demands, decisions, relationships and stressors that require recovery skills to be applied repeatedly.
Boreal's nine-month program creates a structured bridge between intensive treatment and increasingly independent functioning through repeated cognitive, experiential and social engagement.
REPEAT
Recovery-oriented patterns are revisited through repeated activities and experiences rather than being treated as concepts learned once and then left behind.
REINFORCE
Cognitive challenge, structured activity and social participation provide continuing opportunities to strengthen adaptive responses across changing situations.
TRANSFER
Skills and recovery capacities are progressively practiced within contexts that more closely resemble the demands, choices and responsibilities of everyday life.
THE PROGRAM IN PRACTICE
Recovery Through Active Participation
The nine-month program combines multiple forms of structured activity to continually engage cognitive, social and everyday functioning. Rather than relying on a single therapeutic activity, participants encounter different forms of challenge, experience and practice throughout the program.
LAND-BASED ACTIVITIES
Structured activities in natural environments introduce movement, challenge, sensory engagement and purposeful participation outside traditional clinical settings.
MEAL & EXERCISE PLANNING
Structured planning around nutrition, physical activity and daily routines creates opportunities to practice organization, decision-making and healthier patterns within everyday life.
GAMIFICATION THERAPEUTICS
Game-based activities create engaging opportunities to practice attention, planning, persistence, decision-making and adaptive responses through structured challenge.
HEURISTIC PROBLEM SOLVING
Open-ended challenges encourage participants to evaluate situations, explore possible solutions, make decisions and adapt their approach as circumstances change.
COMPUTER COGNITIVE REMEDIATION
Structured computer-based exercises provide targeted cognitive practice across functions involved in attention, memory, processing and executive functioning.
