The issue of 'recovery' has been increasingly prioritised by
policymakers in recent years, but the meaning of the concept
remains ambiguous. This edited collection brings together the
thoughts and experiences of researchers, practitioners and service
users from the fields of health, addiction and criminal justice and
centres on current developments in addiction policy and practice.
Tackling Addiction examines what recovery, addiction and dependence
really mean, not only to the professional involved in
rehabilitation but also to each individual client, and how 'coerced
treatment' fails to take account of recovery as a long-term and
ongoing process. Chapters cover the influence of crime and public
health in UK drug policy; the ongoing emphasis on substitute
prescribing; the role of recovery groups and communities; and
gendered differences in the recovery process and implications for
responses aimed at supporting women. Tackling Addiction will be
essential reading for practitioners, researchers, policy makers and
students in the fields of addiction, social care, psychology and
criminal justice.
