Coping With the Persistence of Stigma in Recovery
Disclosing a stigmatized identity presents a significant challenge for individuals in recovery from problematic drug use. Recovery is defined here as a socially mediated process that does not necessarily require abstinence but involves improvements across multiple areas of life. The enduring effects of drug use histories are compounded by a societal landscape shaped by stigma, suspicion, and fears of dangerousness tied to illegal drug use. While …
The Temporality of the Withdrawing Body
Heroin withdrawal is one of the most challenging stages of an abstinence-based recovery journey, yet its subjective experience has received little attention from alcohol and other drug researchers. Drawing on the literature on temporality and qualitative interviews with ten individuals who self-detoxified from heroin in prison, the article introduces the concept of “withdrawal time” to capture the subjective experience of heroin withdrawal. “With…
Self-detoxification, embodiment and masculinity
Not all heroin users that enter the prison estate continue to use heroin or access opiate maintenance or detoxification treatment programmes. Some prisoners decide to self-detoxify. The literature on self-detoxification is thin and focuses on the decisions and practices of self-detoxification in community settings. Less attention has been given to the role of the body and the lived experience of self-detoxification in prison settings. The aim of …

Heroin withdrawal is perhaps one of the most taken-for-granted components of the addiction framework. Heroin users as well as researchers, policy makers, and practitioners have become dependent on it for thinking about and acting upon the process of heroin leaving the body. It is thought to be among the most challenging aspects of the recovery journey and has been linked to a range of public health, legal, and social problems. The taken-for-grant…
Opiate Substitution Treatment
The practice of substituting one drug for another has arguably become a taken-for-granted feature of contemporary responses to heroin dependency in Britain. Substitute prescribing has, however, recently come under attack from various commentators both inside and outside of the drug treatment system. The general tone of the argument is that problem drug users who are dependent upon heroin are entering the drug treatment system and are simply being…
Governing the injecting drug user
This article offers a critical contribution to the debate on a problematic ‘type’ of injecting drug use referred to as needle fixation. At the heart of this debate, is a questioning of the existence, prevalence and usefulness of the needle fixation concept for academics and drug treatment practitioners working with injecting drug users. The aim of this article is to extend and develop this discussion by examining the historical conditions of the …
