Many substance users report that they experience multiple barriers that produce significant challenges to linking with treatment services. Being on a waiting list is frequently mentioned as a barrier, leading some people to give up on treatment and to continue using, while prompting others to view sobriety during the waiting period as proof they do not need treatment. This ethnographic study examines the views that 52 substance users have of the waiting time before treatment and the strategies they created to overcome it. Understanding how substance users react to waiting time itself and in relation to other barriers can lead to services that are effective in encouraging treatment linkage.
许多药物使用者报告称，他们面临多种障碍，这些障碍给他们获得治疗服务带来了重大挑战。人们经常提到在等候名单上这一障碍，这使得一些人放弃治疗并继续使用药物，同时促使另一些人将等候期间的清醒状态视为他们不需要治疗的证据。这项人种志研究考察了52名药物使用者对治疗前等待时间的看法以及他们为克服这一问题所采取的策略。了解药物使用者如何应对等待时间本身以及与其他障碍相关的情况，有助于提供能有效促进治疗衔接的服务。
