Research Validation
Research Shows Gorski's Relapse Warning Signs
Are A Reliable & Valid Predictor of Alcohol Relapses

The Journal On Studies of Alcohol reported in its September 2000 edition that The Assessment of Warning-Signs of Relapse (AWARE), a questionnaire based upon the list of 37 relapse warning signs developed by Terence T. Gorski, was shown to be a Reliable & Valid Predictor of Alcohol Relapses. (Reference: Miller, William R; Harris, Richard J Journal of Studies on Alcohol, 2000, 61, 5, Sept, 759-765.)

The GORSKI-CENAPS Model
Theoretical Components

Addiction - A Biopsychosocial Model: Addiction is a serious problem that results from a complex interaction among physical psychological and social factors.
Recovery - A Developmental Model: Recovery is a complex process that emerges in stages over time. Each developmental stage of recovery has its own unique theme, recovery goal, and recovery tasks.
Relapse - A Prevention & Management Model: Relapse is the process of becoming dysfunctional in recovery that ends with the renewed symptoms of addiction or related mental or personality disorders. Relapse can be prevented. Relapse can be stopped quickly should it occur.
