This ethnography continues the "thick description" of faith-based
and science-based drug programs begun in Addiction Treatment. Using
extensive interviews and his own participation in daily rounds of
treatment, Hood provides a vivid comparison of resident experience
at each type of institution. Redemption and Recovery tells the
stories of two houses in the Bronx, NY that serve people with drug
problems: "Redemption House" and "Recovery House." These stories
include the direct accounts of residents' "druggin'" lives before
treatment and their search for normalcy after recovery or
redemption. Other chapters dissect the religion of science-based
treatment and compare success rates, religious vs. secular.
Addiction Treatment had detailed a similar process of personal
conversion central to both treatments. This sequel uses the
"contextualized demographics" of residents to uncover profound
parallels between the two "unique" programs and debunk their shared
ideology of abstinence.
