Specialized 12-step based groups have emerged to address the needs of persons recovering from both substance abuse and psychiatric illness.
This study investigates the role of social support in mediating the association between mutual aid participation and subsequent substance use for dually diagnosed persons.
A cohort of Double Trouble in Recovery (DTR) members in New York City were studied prospectively over a two-year period.
Longer DTR participation during the first year of the study was associated with lower substance use in the second year; that effect was partially explained by the maintenance of high level of social support.
These findings speak of the enduring influence of 12-step attendance on reducing substance use, and underline the importance of both 12-step attendance and supportive networks for dually diagnosed persons.
基于12步康复法的专门团体已应运而生,以满足从药物滥用和精神疾病中康复的人群的需求。
本研究调查社会支持在双重诊断患者中互助参与和后续药物使用之间的关联中所起的中介作用。
对纽约市“康复双重困境”(DTR)成员队列进行了为期两年的前瞻性研究。
在研究的第一年中,DTR参与时间较长与第二年较低的药物使用有关;这种效应部分可由高水平社会支持的维持来解释。
这些发现表明12步康复法参与对减少药物使用具有持久影响,并强调了12步康复法参与和支持性网络对双重诊断患者的重要性。
