Since the recognition of addiction as a mental illness, studies concerning treatment and therapeutic models have tended to focus on its psychiatric and psychological dimensions. The aim of this article is to highlight the centrality of the social dimension, not only as potential trigger of addictive behaviors and of stigma regarding these behaviors, but also as a variable that permeates diagnosis and treatment. The reflections are based on fieldwork carried out in rehabilitation centers for drug-consuming women in the border city of Tijuana, northwestern Mexico. The results show that the predominant therapeutic models in the city are based in and reproduce the traditional role of women. The social implications of this finding are analyzed, and it is suggested that these centers could be better utilized in the process of building a society with greater gender equality.
自从成瘾被认定为一种精神疾病以来，有关治疗和治疗模式的研究往往侧重于其精神和心理层面。本文旨在强调社会层面的核心地位，这一层面不仅是成瘾行为及其相关污名的潜在触发因素，也是贯穿诊断和治疗过程的一个变量。这些思考基于在墨西哥西北部边境城市蒂华纳为吸毒女性设立的康复中心所开展的实地调查。结果表明，该市主要的治疗模式基于并再现了女性的传统角色。本文分析了这一发现的社会影响，并建议在建设一个更具性别平等的社会过程中，可以更好地利用这些康复中心。
