Down, but Not Out: An Ethnographic Study of Women who Struggled with and Overcame Methamphetamine AddictionNettleton, Jodi 31 December 2010 (has links)
Women suffer methamphetamine (meth) addiction at a rate much higher than rates for addiction to other drugs. Female meth users are susceptible and predisposed to gender-related risks: high rates of unprotected vaginal and anal sex, sex-work, and sexual coercion. Precursors for addiction (e.g., abuse, body dysphasia) put females in a difficult position for recovery and highlight the need for gender-specific research and treatment.
Methamphetamine (a synthetically derived stimulant) creates psychological and physical dependency that affects every neuron of the brain and damages the body immediately. Women ingest meth for initial effects that allay social pressures: feeling euphoric, connecting with others during ―parties,‖ losing weight, boosting energy, and feeling ―normal‖ despite tumultuous living conditions. Meth‘s aphrodisiac properties improve sexual relations, at least until addiction sets in, at which time relationships frequently become exploitive or abusive. Eventually, meth‘s positive effects turn negative, resulting in poor psychological and physical health. Meth addicts experience hallucinations, insomnia, and deteriorating relationships with family, friends, and colleagues. Physically, they suffer gauntness, deterioration of teeth and gums, and skin formication. They often undergo abuse to sustain their addictions.
This study analyzes quantitative data from the National Household Survey to frame the reflective ethnographic portion‘s interactive interviewing and introduces a new tool, the Life Time Line, to clarify and correlate life events. The ethnographic results, based on extensive life history interviews with five women in recovery from methaddiction, concur with national trends and detail themes that could inform prevention and treatment programs. Recurrent themes are: dysfunctional parental relationships (including being ―adulterized‖) and chaotic childhood; a full range of abuse by parents, family, and husbands or boyfriends; introduction to drugs by males; body image dysphasia; and feelings of normalcy on drugs or self-medication in the face of unbearable living conditions or mental illness.This study emphasizes recovery. The ethnographies reveal that each woman had an epiphany, at least partially facilitated by a recovering addict; participated fully in a 12-step program such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA); became dedicated to the acquisition of a college education, including graduate school; and attend AA or NA to maintain sobriety.

”Jag sitter på Kumla, Sveriges säkraste fängelse, och känner mig friare än någonsin” : En intervjustudie om 12-stegsprogrammet och klosterverksamheten inom Kriminalvården / “I am at Kumla, Sweden's most secure prison, and I feel freer than ever” : An interview study about the 12-step program and the monastery program within the Swedish Prison and Probation service.Parneborg, Klara, Johnson, Jeni January 2021 (has links)
Syftet med studien har varit att undersöka hur deltagandeti klosterverksamheten eller 12-stegsprogrammet inom Kriminalvården har påverkat tidigare intagna på deras väg mot ett laglydigt liv. Studien bygger på sex kvalitativa intervjuer. Fyra livshistorieintervjuer med tidigare intagna och två semistrukturerade med kriminalvårdare. Resultatet visade att deltagandet i något av behandlingsprogrammen har haft betydelse för deltagarna och att det har gett dem verktyg för att arbeta med sig själva. För att behandlingsprogrammen ska vara effektiva menade dock samtliga intervjudeltagare att det krävs en vilja hos individen till att förändras. Vidare visade studiens resultat att även andlighet har en central roll i behandlingen, men att det är något individuellt. / The purpose of this study has been to examine if participation in the monastery-program or the 12 step program within the Swedish Prison and probation service has had an impact on former inmates in their road to a non-criminal life. The study is based on six qualitative interviews. Four life-course interviews with previous inmates and two semi-structured interviews with two caretakers active within the Swedish Prison and probation service. The result showed that participating in one of the treatment programs has had a significant meaning for the participants and it gave them tools to work with themselves. For the programs to be effective, however, all interviewed participants believed that the individuals will to change was crucial. Furthermore the results of this study showed that spirituality also has a central role in the treatment but the interpretation of it is individual.

12-stegsprogrammet som behandling för missbruk : En integrativ litteraturstudie om de verkningsfulla komponenterna i 12-stegsprogrammetHolm, Mathilda, Lundh, Emelie January 2024 (has links)
Studiens syfte var att identifiera de verkningsfulla komponenterna i 12-stegsprogrammet för minskad användning av beroendeframkallande substanser eller uppnå nykterhet i behandlingen. Detta gjordes genom en integrativ litteraturstudie innehållande 10 vetenskapliga artiklar där de verkningsfulla komponenterna samt andlighetens betydelse för 12-stegsprogammet analyserades med hjälp av KASAM och existentialism. Genom att undersöka dessa verkningsfulla komponenter samt andlighet redogör denna studie för hur dessa bidrar till 12- stegsprogrammets framgång som behandling för missbruk. Studien fann att de verkningsfulla komponenterna i 12-stegsprogrammet för minskad användning av beroendeframkallande substanser eller uppnå nykterhet var följande: grupp, tjänstgöring och sponsring samt andlighet. Vidare fann studien att andlighet spelar en betydande roll för att dels kunna tillgodogöra sig behandlingen, dels för att kunna uppnå antingen minskad användning av beroendeframkallande substanser eller för att uppnå nykterhet. / The purpose of the study was to identify the effective components of the 12-step program for reducing the use of addictive substances or achieving sobriety in treatment. This was done through an integrative literature review containing 10 scientific articles where the effective components and the significance of spirituality for the 12-step program were analyzed using SOC (Sense of Coherence) and existentialism. By examining these effective components and spirituality, this study explains how they contribute to the success of the 12-step program as a treatment for addiction. The study found that the effective components of the 12-step program for reducing the use of addictive substances or achieving sobriety were as follows: group, service and sponsorship, as well as spirituality. Furthermore, the study found that spirituality plays a significant role in both benefiting from the treatment and achieving either reduced use of addictive substances or sobriety.
