The manual is divided into two main sections. The first section provides theoretical background and the second outlines the six sessions of the Recovery Resilience Program. In the first section we start with a brief overview of relapse prevention, including both foundational theory and practical direction. The aim here is to provide a background context for the manual in terms of how a Recovery Resilience Practice can helpfully augment other, commonly utilized relapse prevention strategies. The discussion is merely introductory, and it is beyond the scope of the manual to be comprehensive. Considering that the Recovery Resilience Program is an adjunct to relapse prevention programs we assume that facilitators of this program already have familiarity and experience in presenting comprehensive relapse prevention programs.
