People in remission from substance use disorders (SUDs) have a history of using their own experience (also referred to as "experiential knowledge" or "expertise") to support those in or seeking SUD remission. In recent years, people with this experiential knowledge are being incorporated into research protocols to better guide research questions and inform the real-world uptake of SUD treatments and recovery supports. In these research contexts, however, those with research expertise and addiction rarely speak freely about these overlapping perspectives. The aim of this commentary is to increase awareness regarding the existence of this group (addiction researchers with addiction) and to explore the possibility that their expertise may help advance addiction science while helping to reduce stigma.
从物质使用障碍(SUD)中康复的人有使用自己的经验(也称为“体验性知识”或“专业知识”)来支持那些处于 SUD 康复或寻求 SUD 康复的人的历史。近年来,具有这种经验知识的人被纳入研究方案中,以更好地指导研究问题,并为 SUD 治疗和康复支持的实际应用提供信息。然而,在这些研究背景下,具有研究专业知识和成瘾经验的人很少能够自由地谈论这些重叠的观点。本评论的目的是提高对这一群体(具有成瘾经验的成瘾研究人员)的认识,并探讨他们的专业知识是否有助于推进成瘾科学,同时有助于减少污名化。
