{"title":"SUSTAINED ABSTINENCE AND THE DRUG CRIME CONNECTION.","authors":"Nelson Jose Tiburcio","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"This article examines the impact of violence on individuals and communities pursuant to drug use and sales activities. It presents case study material from individuals that engaged in the opioid recovery process, and importantly, were able to desist from criminal activities, many of them potentially violent in nature. The article begins with a discussion of Victimology, within the contexts of drug use leading to violence or contributing in some way to the plight of the victim. It reflects on various self reported issues and concerns as expressed by four study participants. If one is to examine violence in its various forms, one needs to consider the victim. After all, violence and violent acts, in essence, require that there be a protagonist of some sort, but also a victim. All too often, the victim's role in these activities is overlooked or given perfunctory consideration. In many cases, the players in these episodes sometimes don't even realize they are also victims within a structural framework, that is, \"they fall victim to the only opportunities at their disposal…\" One of the study's goals was to see how abstaining from drug use affected desistance and engagement in violent activities and the data suggest that indeed, the heroin crime connection also occurs in reverse. In this light, this article portrays a snapshot of some of the tools that enable ex-offenders re-entering various communities to experience successful prolonged abstinence, and avoid further involvement with the criminal justice system, as well as the danger and violence present within the drug dealing hierarchies.","PeriodicalId":89321,"journal":{"name":"Anuario de investigacion en adicciones","volume":"11 1","pages":"14-24"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5937528/pdf/nihms962350.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"36083797","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Billions of dollars are spent on efforts to control drug supplies and fund various treatment approaches, but relatively little resources have been directed towards investigating how environmental conditions can contribute to or detract from substance user's individual motivation to change behavior. Hurricane Katrina caused untold property damage and upheaval, in addition to the vast numbers of people whose lives it drastically affected. This article examines how surviving this ordeal, subsequent evacuation, and eventual resettlement in New Orleans or re-location to a different city (in this case, Houston) impacted individuals' motivation to change their substance use patterns and behaviors. This article's approach is grounded in the values of the social work profession and examines: 1) the role of life events in motivating change of substance using behaviors in the absence of formal treatment interventions; and 2) participant resilience in overcoming the adversities inherent to this disaster.","PeriodicalId":89321,"journal":{"name":"Anuario de investigacion en adicciones","volume":"10 1","pages":"79-95"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3156670/pdf/nihms222406.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"30087023","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
