High-Risk Situation Map

High-Risk Situation Map is a relapse-prevention mapping tool for practitioners working collaboratively with clients in recovery. It helps practitioner and client identify specific contexts and situations most associated with relapse risk so they can plan avoidance, preparation, or different responses.

When It Is Used

Use it during relapse-prevention work when practitioner and client need to make risk contexts specific enough to recognize and plan around.

Practitioner And Client Roles

The client contributes situation details; the practitioner guides clarification and uses the map for planning. The system organizes reported content without interpreting it.

Important Limits

The tool does not rank risk, predict relapse, or generate coping strategies beyond what practitioner and client enter.

Is this a relapse-risk score?

No. It is a descriptive map of reported risk situations, not a score or prediction.

Can the map include both past triggers and future risks?

Yes. The map can include prior triggering situations and likely future risk situations when those are reported.

What happens when an entry is vague?

Vague entries should be flagged for clarification rather than interpreted by the system.

Are sample situations saved when I save the tool?

No. Saving keeps the fixed tool; fictional sample situations do not become real client data.
