Oxford Houses (OH) are a peer-run sober living homes that are the largest network of recovery homes with over 2,000 in the US. They are self-run without any professional staff. The current study focused on better understanding the facilitators and barriers to OH entry for transgender individuals. The study explored ways in which transgender people found entry into the OHs and the experiences of transgender residents in OHs in comparison to cisgender residents.
Brief Of Amici Curiae Of 11 Addiction Experts In Support Of Appellee, Gene M. Heyman, Scott O. Lilienfeld, Stephen J. Morse, Sally L. Satel
Brief Of Amici Curiae Of 11 Addiction Experts In Support Of Appellee, Gene M. Heyman, Scott O. Lilienfeld, Stephen J. Morse, Sally L. Satel
All Faculty Scholarship
This brief is a critique of the brain disease model and many supposed implications of that model. It begins with a brief history of the model and moves to a discussion of the motivations behind the characterization of addiction as a “chronic and relapsing brain disease.” We follow with an enumeration of fallacious inferences based upon the brain disease model, including the very notion that addiction becomes a “brain disease” simply because it has neurobiological correlates. Regardless of whether addiction is labeled a brain disease, the real question, we contend, is whether the behavioral manifestations of addiction are unresponsive to …
Constructing The 'Addict': A Discourse Analysis Of National Newspapers Concerning North America's First Supervised Injection Site, Katie Sills
Social Justice and Community Engagement
Safe injection sites provide injection drug users with a safe space to inject drugs with clean supplies under the supervision of medical professionals. This study centres on a discursive analysis of newspaper representations of Insite, North America’s first supervised injection site, located in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Insite opened in 2003 under an exemption from the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act and has provided benefits to its clients through a reduction in public injections, decreased spread of infectious disease, and by providing clients with referrals to other community and social services. Despite these accomplishments the Canadian …

Fostering Awareness, Inclusivity, And Self-Efficacy: Facing Social And Internalized Recovery Stigma, Trinity Parker-Grewe
Fostering Awareness, Inclusivity, And Self-Efficacy: Facing Social And Internalized Recovery Stigma, Trinity Parker-Grewe
Master of Social Work Clinical Research Papers
A dynamic interplay takes place between social, public, and internalized addiction and recovery stigma. This systematic literature review sought to further understand the pervasive relationship between social stigma and internalized stigma around addiction, as well as clinical implications for alleviating the effects of shame and empowering those in recovery. A total of 14 studies were included in the final sample. The results of this review depict three main themes which explore the nature of social and internalized stigma as well as implications for responding to the effects of internalized stigma: Individual Identity Transformation, Group Belonging and Social Support, and Public …
Contraceptive Counseling Practices Among Providers Prescribing Opiates To Women Of Childbearing Age, Lucy A. Iselborn
Contraceptive Counseling Practices Among Providers Prescribing Opiates To Women Of Childbearing Age, Lucy A. Iselborn
Honors College
Opiate use has reached epidemic levels in the United States, resulting in 28,647 deaths in 2014 alone. Prenatally, opioids are used for both pain management and to assist with opiate dependency. The level of risk associated with the use of opiates is much higher for pregnant women, and women of childbearing age, due to the detrimental effects opiates have on the developing fetus including, neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS). Maine is leading the nation in the number of NAS births with incidence rates of greater than 30 per 1,000 hospital births. Pregnancy prevention is an upstream approach to reduce unintended pregnancy …
The Balloon Effect On West Virginia, Ashley N. Wilson
The Balloon Effect On West Virginia, Ashley N. Wilson
COLA Research and Creativity Conference
According to the CDC, West Virginia is eleven times the national average for opiate related deaths. Huntington has been hit the worst with this drug epidemic. The idea of the balloon effect on drugs, is more commonly used to describe what happens when clamping down on the production of a drug in one area will push that same drug into another area. However, I will examine how the crack down on prescription pills here in West Virginia, has led to the pop up of other illicit drug use in the state.
Best Practices: Managing Methamphetamine Withdrawal, Samantha L. Wiendels
Best Practices: Managing Methamphetamine Withdrawal, Samantha L. Wiendels
Brescia Psychology Undergraduate Honours Theses
Methamphetamine withdrawal has been labelled one of the most challenging withdrawal syndromes by service providers. Limited research has explored methamphetamine withdrawal causing service providers to develop their own strategies and adapt policies and procedures according to client needs. The purpose of this study was to understand and address the unique challenges of methamphetamine withdrawal from the perspective of client and staff experiences. Thirty-four semi-structured interviews were conducted with Withdrawal Management staff and clients in London, Ontario in order to identify common themes. Five themes emerged related to providing methamphetamine users with effective support while trying to maintain the safety and …

A Second Chance: Employers’ Perspectives In Hiring Individuals In Addiction Recovery, Alicia B. Becton, Roy K. Chen, Teresia M. Paul
School of Rehabilitation Services & Counseling Faculty Publications and Presentations
There is a constant debate that employers are not adequately prepared to hire individuals in addiction recovery for a number of reasons. Literature suggests lack of awareness, knowledge, and skills necessary to interact with individuals in addiction recovery as common factors impacting employment outcomes. The purpose of the study was to use open-ended questions to examine employer perspectives toward hiring individuals in addiction recovery. Furthermore, the authors examined gender, business industry, and employer profession to identify any common factors between groups. Major themes in the study included employability, available supports and resources for business owners, influence of societal biases, and …

Identification, Intervention, And Implementation Of A Church Substance-Abuse Program For Twenty-Six To Forty-Six Year Olds, Michael Schmidt
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
Peer-reviewed empirical research indicates that the church can improve how it equips ministers to reach out to twenty-six to forty-six year olds suffering from substance abuse. This thesis project will help ministers evaluate, rethink, and implement better addiction-outreach programs. It is the intent of this thesis project to guide ministers and church workers, to give them levelheaded, real-world, hands-on, sensible solutions in order to see clear-cut positive progress in their outreach program to substance abusers. This thesis will answer the question: Is the church doing a good job of identifying and ministering to substance-abusing addicts? This doctoral thesis will provide …
Queering Addiction, Tararose Macuch
Queering Addiction, Tararose Macuch
Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects
Much has been written about the subject of addiction, but very little has been written from a queer feminist standpoint. Most of the work available concerning addiction is aimed primarily at a clinical audience, those interested in treating people with addictions. Most non-clinical work is aimed predominantly at people who are either suffering from addiction themselves or close to someone dealing with addiction. In pursuing this thesis project, I want to add the queer feminist discourse as well as a disability discourse to the larger public dialogue on the addict’s embodied identity. I am proposing that the addict’s perspective is …
How Heroin-Addicted Offenders Experience Sobriety Upon Release From Jail, Rebecca Lynn Foster
How Heroin-Addicted Offenders Experience Sobriety Upon Release From Jail, Rebecca Lynn Foster
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Heroin addiction is a growing epidemic in the United States. The need for proper treatment programs accessible by heroin users who wish to or are mandated to participate in recovery programs is a growing need, and pathways to sobriety for ex-offenders have presented in literature as understudied. The purpose of this study was to examine heroin-addicted offenders' experiences prior to and after release on their paths to sobriety. This study followed a qualitative phenomenological approach based on the theory of personal causation, which posits that individuals see events in life as either driven by themselves or caused by others, both …
The Use And Abuse Of Mutual-Support Programs In Drug Courts, Sara Gordon
The Use And Abuse Of Mutual-Support Programs In Drug Courts, Sara Gordon
Scholarly Works
There is a large gap between what we know about the disease of addiction and its appropriate treatment, and the treatment received by individuals who are ordered into treatment as a condition of participation in drug court. Most medical professionals are not appropriately trained about addiction and most addiction treatment providers do not have the education and training necessary to provide appropriate evidence-based services to individuals who are referred by drug courts for addiction treatment. This disconnect between our understanding of addiction and available addiction treatment has wide-reaching impact for individuals who attempt to receive medical care for addiction in …
The Devil In The Details: Popular Demonology, Addiction And Criminology, Kyra Ann Martinez
The Devil In The Details: Popular Demonology, Addiction And Criminology, Kyra Ann Martinez
Online Theses and Dissertations
Theories of diabolism have, since antiquity, made manifest societal fears of the unknown. Demonology, as discipline, flourished within the West accordingly; to function, at the inception of early modern science and during the "transition" to capitalism, as a device to translate alterity. At this juncture, theories of the demonic were occulted under scientific methodologies and institutionalized across the structures of modernity. "Evil", as discursive paradigm, was politically incarnated, canonized, and absorbed under the auspices of the state towards the consummation of socio-political "diabolic" enemies of society. In continuity with the past, "evil" continues to operate in the contemporary as a …
Art For Recovery, Lucy Dabney
Art For Recovery, Lucy Dabney
Theses and Dissertations
This thesis explores the design of a space for opioid addicts in recovery that combines an art therapy studio with a gallery space. It would provide a new type of therapy available to the area, engage and educate the Richmond community and spread awareness of the disease of opiate addiction. It will also enable addicts to express themselves in a non-verbal, creative format that allows for them to create a legacy and leave an imprint on the community.
