Despite the benefits of substance abuse treatment, only a small proportion of drug users enter treatment. Understanding "readiness" is critical for engaging drug users in treatment and for involving them in the recovery process. This paper reports on ethnographic interviews conducted with 35 active drug users as they were entering treatment services, to describe how they perceive readiness for treatment. Drug users expressed readiness for treatment in terms reflective of twelve step programs, a folk model of treatment. A better understanding of drug users' perceptions can help to inform interventions designed to improve readiness for treatment.
尽管药物滥用治疗有诸多益处,但只有一小部分吸毒者接受治疗。了解“治疗意愿”对于促使吸毒者接受治疗并参与康复过程至关重要。本文报告了对35名正在接受治疗服务的活跃吸毒者进行的人种志访谈,以描述他们如何看待治疗意愿。吸毒者表达的治疗意愿反映了十二步戒毒法这一民间治疗模式。更好地理解吸毒者的看法有助于为旨在提高治疗意愿的干预措施提供参考。
