Resumo
Opioid use disorder (OUD) and criminal justice involvement (CJI) represent two often co‐occurring stressors for which people may rely on friendships to cope. Yet, conventional understandings of friendship might not holistically describe the experiences and meaning of friendship when grappling with two ongoing, stigmatized stressors. Guided by Communicated Narrative Sense‐Making theory, this study examines how people with OUD and CJI narratively make sense of friendship. Semi‐structured interviews were conducted with 19 people with OUD and CJI. Participants defined friendships as instrumental, individualistic, risky, altruistic, and temporary. Findings offer a contextualized definition of friendship focused on material circumstances and deepen theoretical understanding of narrative sense‐making by revealing characteristics of negatively framed stories.
