Passages through Recovery presents an action plan for preventing relapse, one that can help us understand how recovery works and what is needed to move from active addiction to sobriety. "Abstinence from alcohol and other drugs is only the beginning of sobriety.

"Chemically dependent adolescents have a tendency to relapse because of problems they experience at home, school, and with their friends. These problems activate urges and cravings to use alcohol and drugs. The 'Adolescent Relapse Prevention Workbook' first reviews a list of common adolescent Relapse Warning Signs. The adolescent then selects and personalizes a warning sign that is likely to increase the risk of relapse and describes specific situations in which this warning sign might occur. The adolescent learns to identify the irrational thoughts, unmanageable feelings, self-destructive urges, and self-defeating behavior that leads to alcohol and drug use. New ways of thinking, feeling, managing urges, and behaving are learned that promote recovery and present relapse."--Publisher description.
