Treatment centers and self-help recovery programs promote individual solutions to substance abuse through changing dysfunctional behavior and relying on spiritual beliefs and practices. The root problems are understood to be diseases within the person. However, the social conditions implicated in causing the addiction remain unaddressed. Although class, race, and gender do not predict substance abuse, many people entering clinics are from disempowered groups. Can social workers bring recovery and social justice methods together? What can radical social workers in the addiction-recovery industry do?
治疗中心和自助康复项目通过改变功能失调的行为以及依靠精神信仰和实践来推动针对药物滥用的个人解决方案。根本问题被认为是个人内在的疾病。然而，与成瘾成因相关的社会状况仍未得到解决。尽管阶级、种族和性别并不能预测药物滥用，但许多进入诊所的人来自弱势群体。社会工作者能将康复方法和社会正义方法结合起来吗？成瘾康复行业中的激进社会工作者能做些什么？
