Abstract

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that opioids are involved in almost 71% of all drug overdose deaths. Although there is increased attention on the lethal potential of opioid addiction, narratives about healing, wherein people have sustained long-term health and well-being from opioid addiction, are few. Our purpose with this study was to develop a biopsychosocial understanding of how people heal from opioid addiction, not only maintain abstinence. The Theory of Healing from Opioid Addiction yielded five categories, 15 themes, and seven subthemes. Results showed four phases of healing (i.e., Inactive Healing, Early Active Healing, Middle Active Healing, and Late Active Healing), four Continuous Core Components of healing (i.e., 12-Step Programs, Psychotherapy, Spirituality, and Relationships with Others), and 15 themes ranging from Substance Use Treatment to Effectively Processing Trauma to Self-Love. Participants’ ( N = 11) healing journey began during opioid addiction itself and continued through to the last phase of healing, wherein participants had transformed their lives and concretized a sense of personal empowerment.

阿片类药物成瘾康复过程的基础理论

美国疾病控制与预防中心发现，在所有药物过量死亡中，近71%与阿片类药物有关。尽管人们越来越关注阿片类药物成瘾的致命潜力，但关于治疗的叙述很少，其中人们从阿片类药物成瘾中保持长期健康和幸福。我们进行这项研究的目的是发展一种生物心理社会理解，了解人们如何从阿片类药物成瘾中康复，而不仅仅是保持戒断。阿片类药物成瘾的康复理论产生了5个类别，15个主题和7个副主题。结果显示了四个阶段的治疗(即，被动治疗，早期积极治疗，中期积极治疗和晚期积极治疗)，四个连续的核心治疗组件(即，12步程序，心理治疗，灵性和与他人的关系)，以及15个主题，从物质使用治疗到有效处理创伤到自爱。参与者(N = 11)的康复之旅从阿片类药物成瘾本身开始，一直持续到康复的最后阶段，在这个阶段，参与者已经改变了他们的生活，并具体化了个人赋权的感觉。
