Abstract

Aim: The study explores how former patients with substance use disorder (SUD) experience the benefits and challenges of a reoriented identity and way of living. Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 participants who had completed treatment for SUD and considered themselves either recovered or in an ongoing rehabilitation process. Interview transcripts were analysed using the content analysis approach. Results: The analysis furthers our understanding of several purposeful aspects of a reorientation towards a sober life in terms of: (1) avoiding illegal drugs, (2) avoiding contact with the substance use relations and milieu, (3) renewing relations and social network, (4) daily occupation, (5) discovering the value of the great, little things in everyday life, (6) new coping strategies, and (7) developing a new identity. Conclusion: The study indicates that rehabilitation from SUDs should take a broader focus than just sobriety. With attention to the present findings, a focus on psychosocial aspects of recovery could contribute to a more overarching framework for SUD treatment.

从存在到生活：探索长期药物使用障碍后恢复和清醒生活的意义

目的:本研究探讨了前物质使用障碍(SUD)患者如何经历重新定位身份和生活方式的好处和挑战。方法:对10名完成SUD治疗并认为自己已经康复或正在康复的参与者进行半结构化访谈。访谈记录采用内容分析法进行分析。结果:分析进一步加深了我们对重定向清醒生活的几个有目的方面的理解:(1)避免非法毒品，(2)避免接触物质使用关系和环境，(3)更新关系和社会网络，(4)日常职业，(5)发现日常生活中大事和小事的价值，(6)新的应对策略，(7)发展新的身份。结论:该研究表明，从吸毒成瘾中恢复应采取更广泛的重点，而不仅仅是清醒。鉴于目前的研究结果，关注康复的社会心理方面可能有助于建立一个更全面的SUD治疗框架。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
