Stimulus Control

Stimulus control is an essential component of addiction recovery, as environmental cues or triggers can make it challenging to maintain sobriety. By identifying and avoiding high-risk situations, individuals can reduce the likelihood of relapse and promote long-term recovery. This could involve removing substances from the home, avoiding places where substances are easily accessible, and surrounding oneself with supportive people who respect their journey towards sobriety.
Stimulus control allows for a more controlled environment that supports healthy behaviors and reduces the risk of potential triggers. With practice, individuals can develop effective strategies to manage cravings and stay on track in their recovery journey.
