Addiction among women continues to be a vexing social problem with
no clear solution. Individuals, families, and social organizations
use various approaches to end addiction, ranging from social
isolation and family enmeshment to formal detox programs, but
results remain uneven. In this study of the recovery careers of
female addicts living in rural settings, Judith Grant explores the
ways in which twenty-five addicts engage in individual processes of
self-recovery. Using feminist methods of inquiry and a Meadian
theoretical framework of analysis, Grant follows the women through
three distinct recovery phases as they slowly come to shift their
understandings of themselves, others, and their social objects.
Central to a recovery lies a process through which women reinvent
themselves by altering their involvement with themselves, their
partners, friends, and children, and of course their addictive
substance. This book offers concrete solutions for policy makers
and provides a refreshing measure of hope for the largely invisible
population of individuals, both family members and addicts, who
suffer terribly from this disease.
