We surveyed 204 Philadelphia Police Department officers authorized to initiate pre-booking diversions. We used bivariate x2 tests and multivariate logistic regression to examine differences in respondent perspectives. 78% agreed that pre-booking diversion provides important services to people who use drugs, 69% wanted to expand the geographic score of programming, and 52% wanted to expand eligibility. Yet 59% questioned whether diversion is \"what police should be doing\", and only 27% believed that it will improve public safety. In logistic regression, the perceived value that the police department places on referrals correlated with agreement that PAD improves safety, provides important services for people who use drugs, and fits within officers' role. Tension between beliefs that the program provides important services but may not improve safety reflects both potential value and inherent challenges of pre-booking diversion models.","PeriodicalId":15626,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Drug Issues","volume":" ","pages":"576-589"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11636223/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43367247","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study explores hallucinogenic new psychoactive substances’ profile, effects and toxicity from the perspectives of e-psychonauts by conducting content analysis of online discussion forums. Qualitative content analysis was applied to threads extracted from online discussion forums. Each thread was coded carefully, and similar codes were grouped into sub-themes and themes respectively. The results showed four main themes related to users’ characteristics, hallucinogenic new psychoactive substances profile, effects and toxicity. The majority of users in this study were men in the age range of 18–25 years old. The main effects sought were stimulant/hallucinogenic effects; yet neurological and cardiovascular toxicity were frequently reported. The research found that online discussion forums offered a rich source of information as they provided a safe space for truthful experience reports without fear of legal consequence for e-psychonauts.","PeriodicalId":15626,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Drug Issues","volume":"50 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142247335","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: A total of 343 participants in recovery from alcohol and/or illicit drug problems (≥3 months) completed the 2022 ‘Life in Recovery’ survey online. Participants were categorized into four groups based on their engagement with treatment services: (1) unassisted recovery, (2) mutual aid support only, (3) formal treatment only, and (4) formal treatment and mutual aid support. The questionnaire was supplemented with open-ended questions about facilitators and barriers to recovery. Findings: Group comparisons revealed significant differences in the severity of dependence and living conditions (recovery strengths and barriers, SABRS) during addiction between those in recovery without treatment and the treatment groups. However, similarities in strengths, barriers, and quality of life during recovery were observed across all groups. Differences in barriers during recovery were attributed to variations in initial conditions rather than treatment engagement. The complementary qualitative analysis revealed that the four clusters experienced similar factors as facilitating and hindering recovery. Discussion: These findings suggest that while various pathways can lead to recovery, those involving formal treatment and mutual aid support may be particularly valuable for individuals facing greater initial barriers and fewer strengths during addiction, highlighting treatment as an important but not universally necessary source of recovery capital.","PeriodicalId":15626,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Drug Issues","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142247423","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we explored motivations or reasons for methamphetamine use and implications among 18 users and service providers. We analysed the data thematically to generate themes. The findings show that while most users initiated methamphetamine use in friendship networks, drug dealing also facilitated the initiation. Some participants were motivated to use methamphetamine to stay awake at night and engage in online businesses, while others used the drug to enhance their energy for manual work to improve productivity and enhance sexual drive, performance and pleasure. Although participants believed that methamphetamine use performed some functions, they reported its adverse effects on them and their friends, including irritation, hostility, extreme violent behaviour, delusion, psychiatric disorders, and inability to urinate or defecate for seven days. Additional findings showed that stigma is a prominent barrier to accessing treatment. Therefore, individuals do not use treatment facilities until their condition deteriorates. The findings suggest the need for the urgent provision of information to deter people from methamphetamine uptake and to provide interventions and pathways to treatment that will protect people who use methamphetamine from stigmatisation and other forms of discrimination.","PeriodicalId":15626,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Drug Issues","volume":"93 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142202693","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Aims: This study aims to generate novel understandings of substance misuse relapse from a lived experience perspective of addiction therapists. Methods: Data were generated through semi-structured interviews with seven addiction therapists across specialist addiction treatment services in England, and subsequently analyzed using interpretative phenomenological analysis. Findings: The analysis revealed three superordinate themes around the impact that supporting clients through relapse has on addiction therapists’ psychological wellbeing, their treatment approaches, and their therapeutic relationships. Conclusion: Relapse can shape how therapists perceive and engage with recovery of their clients. Although therapists sometimes consider relapse as a positive experience, they often feel negative psychological effects from it, including emotional withdrawal, self-doubt, and compassion fatigue. This paper sets out the implications for policy, practice, and research.","PeriodicalId":15626,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Drug Issues","volume":"119 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142202697","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Individuals reported simultaneous or sequential co-use to balance, prolong or enhance a ‘high’ (theme 1). Participants engaged in polysubstance use to alleviate withdrawal symptoms, to induce sleep and self-medicate physical pain (theme 2) and to provide relief from emotional distress (theme 3). Other themes included drug-induced cravings (theme 4) and responding to social contexts (theme 5) including both social situations and economic availability. Motivations for polysubstance use may provide important insight into harm reduction and treatment settings solutions.","PeriodicalId":15626,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Drug Issues","volume":"106 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142202698","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
