In January 2023, Samarpan was delighted to welcome Roland Williams MA, MAC, LAADC, NCACII, CADCII, ACRPS, SAP CENAPS President, CEO, and Director of Training to our residential facility in Mulshi, Pune. Over a period of Five days, Samarpan staff was provided with world-class, relapse prevention-specific training as part of the ongoing commitment to professional and organizational development.
Roland has traveled extensively across the world, consulting and training in multiple residential and outpatient treatment services, and is a well-known and respected Substance Abuse Expert having been in the field for over 30 years. He has also published a number of books on recovery and working with African Americans.
Whilst he was here with us at Samarpan, we asked him a few questions about his work, and also his experience of Samarpan.
The Gorski-CENAPS Model of Recovery and Relapse Prevention (The CENAPS Model) is a comprehensive system for diagnosing and treating substance use disorders, co-occurring mental disorders, personality disorders, and situational life problems. The CENAPS Model integrates addiction-specific treatment methods with state-of-the-art cognitive, affective, behavioral, and social therapies.
Terence Gorski developed the 5-Day Advanced RPT Training for clinicians to better address the relapse process and increase support for their relapse-prone patients. Ranked among the most comprehensive and effective training for behavioral health professionals, RPT is for those who wish to advance their clinical skills through a proven, evidence-based approach. Training staff will utilize their current skills and integrate them with powerful techniques to help their clients identify and manage high-risk situations as well as core personality and lifestyle warning sign patterns that lead to the recurrence of alcohol and other drug use in the critical early stages of the recovery process. About Advanced Relapse Prevention Therapy Training.

Staff will learn how to teach their clients/patients how to identify and clarify their Presenting Problems, review their Life and Addiction History, and Recovery and Relapse History to understand the core pattern of personality and lifestyle problems that created pain and problems and how to make a commitment to complete the RPT process.
Staff will learn how to teach their clients/patients to identify, examine, understand, relate, and manage Warning Signs that can lead to relapse through segments on Warning Sign Review, Initial Warning Sign List, Warning Sign Analysis, Final Warning Sign List, and Critical Warning Signs, and Warning Sign Management.

The Fresh Start Program will be specifically for the Relapse Prone client, those who have a history of being actively abstinent and engaged in recovery-related activities who have repeated relapses despite a strong desire to abstain.
Samarpan is a beautiful and incredibly affordable program, with great potential to be the best program in India, and could compete with any other treatment center worldwide. In time Samarpan has the capability of delivering the full continuum of care, from detox, residential, Intensive Outpatient, 1 on 1 counseling and sober living a Family Program, and an Alumni Program. Samarpan has some very skilled and dedicated staff members. The schedule and curriculum in the residential program are robust and clinically sound. It’s very impressive what the team has done so far in such a short amount of time. I haven’t had the opportunity to learn enough about the Out-Patent program yet.
Martin Peters and Obi Unaka are both seasoned, skilled hard-working treatment professionals, who work very well with the staff and clients. The clinical staff I met are at various levels of experience in addiction-specific treatment, however, all seem eager to learn and most importantly very compassionate, professional, and dedicated. Overall, I was very impressed with every staff member I met at the residential program, from facilities, the kitchen staff, the administrative staff, and the clinical staff. All were very kind, warm, and welcoming to me, each other, and the clients. The program has very good human “energy”.
The full continuum of care: detox, residential, Intensive outpatient, 1 on-1 counseling, sober living, a Family Program, and an Alumni Program.
First of all, I wanted to visit a country that has always fascinated me. Secondly, I was excited to play a part in bringing an evidence-based treatment model to India. And also, I looked forward to seeing my old friend and colleague Martin and getting to spend more time with Obi. Professionally I wanted to share these powerful clinical techniques with the clinical team because I know they are effective in saving the lives of clients struggling with addiction-related issues.
The Gorski-CENAPS Center of Excellence designation is reserved for those treatment providers who evidence exemplary Relapse Prevention services through the use of the CENAPS Model of Treatment. Although any provider may seek this designation, only those who meet the rigorous standards for endorsement will be officially recognized. Our mission is to collaborate with treatment providers who are committed to fully implementing the Gorski-CENAPS® Developmental Model of Recovery and Relapse Prevention. Our commitment is to recognize, support, and assist our CENAPS® Centers of Excellence (COE) partners reach as many people in need of recovery and relapse prevention as possible and to provide them with Evidenced-Based treatment protocols.
The exact same program you are providing in the US or UK would cost at least 4-5x as much. Samarpan Residential provides all licensed and/or certified clinical staff, 24-hour nursing, initial medical, psychiatric, psychological, nutritional, fitness, substance abuse, and psychosocial assessments on all clients. The treatment is delivered in all luxurious private rooms, with a full commercial gym, wonderful chef-prepared meals, and an art studio in a beautifully landscaped safe, and clean environment. There is a significant overhead to provide all of these services and amenities and as such the costs for treatment will reflect that. Treatment need not and should not be punitive and this program offers a treatment experience that is comparable to all of the other services in India that recognize that although cheaper more affordable options are available some clients want the best possible and are willing and able to pay for it. As a side note I don’t think the program is charging enough and financially this is more a “labor of love” and is most likely losing money.
I fell in love with this amazing country and was struck by the kind spirits of most of the Indian people I met. Seeing the diversity of the landscape and the people was fascinating to me and I wish I had more time to explore as there is so much more to see. My week at Samarpan was great, it went by so quickly, the staff was fully engaged, professional, and receptive to learning, The active participation of the program directors Martin and Obi and the other clinical staff members in a full five-day training while also treating clients before and after each day was admirable. Finally, it was great to see how well the team worked together and I could see the potential for more collaboration with the residential and outpatient program.
We were delighted to have Roland with us, and Martin Peters Director of Residential Services said “Roland is an exceptional trainer as well as being a globally recognized expert in the field of substance abuse residential treatment. It was a highly enlightening week of training, which will increase the skill level of our staff, and improve the delivery of international standard evidenced-based treatment in India. Throughout the week, we have also had the opportunity to review and reflect on our program and make some new changes, as well as introduce The Fresh Start Program for clients who have a history of chronic relapse. We are delighted to be the only treatment center in India to offer such a program, and have staff trained in this model, and are eagerly working towards gaining a Centre of Excellence Accreditation towards the end of 2023”.
Obi Unaka, Deputy Director of Residential Services stated, “It was a pleasure and an honor to have Roland come over to India to deliver the CENAPS RPT training to our staff. His infectious and collaborative training style enabled all attendees to grasp the concept of this model and assisted our staff in being able to adapt the model to the culturally sensitive Indian landscape.”
