A recent study conducted by Ghent University in Flanders, Belgium, examined the experiences of individuals in addiction recovery. The study surveyed 343 participants who were in recovery from alcohol and/or drug problems. The participants were categorized into four groups based on their engagement with treatment services. The study found that while various pathways can lead to recovery, formal treatment and mutual aid support may be particularly valuable for individuals facing greater initial barriers and fewer strengths during addiction. The findings highlight the importance of treatment as a source of recovery capital, but also suggest that it is not universally necessary. [Extracted from the article] |
