Family Role in the Reintegration Process of Recovering Drug Addicts

A Qualitative Review of Israeli Offenders

Lior Gideon

John Jay College of Criminal Justice, New York

In an outcome evaluation of recovering addicts who participated in a prison-based therapeutic community, 39 clients, a nonrandomized subsample, are interviewed about their rehabilitation and reintegration experience. This study focuses on the family as the main source of support and as an agent of change for the recovering drug addict. Although many studies show marriage and family to be positively related to successful reintegration and rehabilitation, clients in this study report families as having a negative effect on the rehabilitation and reintegration process. This is especially true among those who reunite with their spouse. The findings are discussed in regard to role expectations and support mechanisms, and suggestions are made for further research.

Key Words: recovering drug addicts • family • support • intervention • rehabilitation
