Gorski-CENAPS Model

The Gorski-CENAPS Model is a framework for understanding and preventing relapse in addiction. It emphasizes that recovery is a dynamic process influenced by various factors such as stress, emotions, and environment. The model highlights that triggers—things or situations that remind someone of their substance use—can lead to cravings and potential relapse. By identifying these triggers and developing coping strategies, individuals can better manage their responses. Overall, it promotes a comprehensive approach to sobriety that involves awareness of personal vulnerabilities and proactive planning to maintain long-term recovery.
