Abstract
ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to explore the lived experiences of participants’ key attributes of sustaining long-term recovery as an emergent adult in college. Interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) was used to identify recurrent themes by analyzing participants’ experiences. Eight participants were recruited from a collegiate recovery program at a university in the southwest United States. Semi-structured interviews were conducted, and data were transcribed verbatim. Data analysis followed IPA guidelines and procedures. Four superordinate themes emerged through the analysis process: Positive Recovery Identity Shift, Achievements and Accomplishments, Transformation of Agency, and Spirituality and Choice. Findings, which were integrated into the discussion, focus on relevant addiction recovery research implications. Limitations, future research implications, and clinical applications are discussed.
期刊介绍:
Alcoholism Treatment Quarterly is an exciting professional journal for clinicians working with persons who are alcoholic and their families. Designed to bridge the gap between research journals and information for the general public, it addresses the specific concerns of professional alcoholism counselors, social workers, psychologists, physicians, clergy, nurses, employee assistance professionals, and others who provide direct services to persons who are alcoholic. The journal features articles specifically related to the treatment of alcoholism, highlighting new and innovative approaches to care, describing clinical problems and solutions, and detailing practical, unique approaches to intervention and therapy.
