Treadon dopewars4/2/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() It becomes an especially thorny issue if one tries to fix the process of recovery in such temporal dimensions. Much depends on the researcher’s ideas of where to ‘locate’ recovery, how and when to begin to study it, and how long to follow participants to establish whether recovery was successful, is still in progress, or became a closed chapter in someone’s life. Merging bio-medical, social-psychological, and environmental dimensions, recovery in itself is a delicate concept to study. As the book progresses, we encounter a list of definitions that different health organizations, treatment professionals, and researchers have given to recovery. It is also the aim of this book to address the questions on what makes recovery a contested concept, how can we better approach it, and whether there is a need to talk about recovery at all, especially in semiotic, socio-material and relational forms. It aims to expand research into individual, communal, and political roles of recovery and take the use of the concept beyond the discourse of free will, reintegration, and formal treatment. What is recovery? Is recovery a process of individual transformation, an endpoint, or a part of drug use? How do people ‘do’ recovery and how can research trace this? How do different drug policies and national drug discourses understand and enforce recovery? This work explores these questions and offers personal accounts of recovery that shed light on differences, contexts, relations, and meanings. ![]()
