Usually, they are return to the same impoverished communities in which they lived prior to incarceration. Society’s overreliance on prisons as a solution to reduce crime has made incarceration a “normal” life event in many poor neighborhoods, and issues of race and income inequalities are aggravating factors within these disenfranchised communities (Center for Prison Education [CPE], n.d.). The probability of a family living in poverty increases by nearly 40% while the father is in prison, and children of incarcerated parents are at greater risk of developmental delays, behavioral problems, academic failure, and are more likely to become prisoners themselves [2]. Earning a college degree has significant socioeconomic advantages. As of 2015, workers with less than a high school diploma earned an average $493 a week compared to an average $798 a week for workers with an associate’s degree and an average $1,137 a week for workers with a bachelor’s degree [3]. This study assessed the impact of college education on formerly incarcerated men of East Jersey State Prison of the New Jersey Department of Corrections. The research examined how higher education courses taught within penal institutions affected recidivism and helped ex-offenders reintegrate into their communities. The college program is known as the New Jersey Scholarship and Transformative Education in Prisons (NJ STEP).","PeriodicalId":339096,"journal":{"name":"Open Access Journal of Addiction and Psychology","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128509103","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study attempted to understand the lived experiences of six Ethiopian recovering persons recovering from alcohol use disorder and to offer a multicultural view of recovery. The country of Ethiopia has problems with substance use and overuse. Alcohol and khat leaves (Catha edulis) are widely abused substances that cause people to seek psychiatric treatments [2-6]. CSA & ICF International [12] reported the prevalence of alcohol use in 53% of men and 45% of women in Ethiopia. Additionally, the WHO [8] revealed that 9.3 percent of Ethiopians practice heavy and hazardous drinking. In many developing countries like Ethiopia, there are alcohol overuse patterns. Patel V [10] described developing countries’ drinking patterns as hazardous, heavily gendered towards men, high-risk and often manifested through drinking alone and binging. Access to use is a cultural phenomenon in Ethiopia given that drinking on holidays and during festivals is socially acceptable; people can easily get homebrewed drinks or buy from liquor stores mostly without age restrictions. Across all cultures overuse of alcohol and other drugs is often associated with physical, mental, economic, and social negative consequences [11-14]. In some studies, substance overuse is associated with crime, anti-social behaviors, unemployment, lost occupational productivity, HIV/AIDS, early childhood traumas, and personal and family problems [15-21]. There is considerable research on how recovery from substance overuse and abuse is achieved. For instance, research results reveal Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) to be an effective treatment for a wide range of overuse of substances [22-25]. Strategies as prayer in AA have been found correlated with reductions in cravings [26]. Other research findings suggest the effectiveness of various individual and group interventions such as Motivational Interviewing (MI), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) (Dutra et al, 2008), mindfulness-based interventions Witkiewitz K, et al. [27], and family-based substance abuse treatment [28]. In addition, research supports numerous factors that support recovery such as cultural background Pruett JM, et al [29], spiritual perspectives Warren J [30], and exposure to people with substance abuse disorders [31].","PeriodicalId":339096,"journal":{"name":"Open Access Journal of Addiction and Psychology","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129348310","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During this year there were more than 70,200 deaths reported from overdoses, with over 17,000 from prescription opioids [2]. Even with such staggering statistics, of those 20 million individuals only 4 million people received treatment [2]. Drug addiction is considered a treatable disease [2]. It is a chronic condition, similar to hypertension (high blood pressure) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Drug dependence is a complex disorder which requires specialized training to identify and treat. Research has shown recovery from drug addiction begins with treatment with medications such as Buprenorphine (Suboxone) with an additional component of behavioral therapy or counseling. As with any chronic condition, if an individual chose to stop taking their medication, then there is a risk of relapsing. Although it must be an individual’s choice to receive treatment, one must wonder if there are other reasons which limit addiction treatment. One possible problem with the drug crises could lie in the stigma many healthcare providers hold regarding treatment with Buprenorphine.","PeriodicalId":339096,"journal":{"name":"Open Access Journal of Addiction and Psychology","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121590001","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The positive, and its commitment to care and development, leads to the understanding of the human being, the world and others around him, and even changes his negative thinking towards life as a whole. Positive psychology has defined as the scientific study of the strengths and virtues that empower individuals, institutions and societies to flourish. This has been based on the belief that human beings wish to lead a human life full of value and meaning in which they realize their ambitions and employ In which their human abilities to reach true satisfaction and happiness, and improve their general humanitarian experience in all areas of human value such as social relations, work, and even play [1]. Perhaps one of the most important psychological strengths in humans is intelligence, which has received a great deal of attention from psychologists over time, and even considered the IQ is the first factor of success and excellence, and that the highest people in intelligence reach the highest levels of success in education, work and various areas But scientists have recently discovered that other types of intelligence play an important role in success, especially in reality. Many intelligent people stumble and spend their lives in fear and tension, and others less intelligent take important and successful positions in life [2].","PeriodicalId":339096,"journal":{"name":"Open Access Journal of Addiction and Psychology","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121423157","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
