关于药物使用者康复的研究侧重于个人层面的结果，而对个人所处的环境以及康复所涉及的社会过程的关注有限。本文考察了非裔美国可卡因使用者决定减少或戒掉可卡因使用的潜在因素，并利用实践理论来理解生活方式的改变和社会网络的转变如何促进获得改变可卡因使用模式所需的资本。这项研究深入分析了2010年至2012年期间进行的药物使用生活史访谈，其中包括阿肯色州密西西比三角洲地区51名目前未接受治疗的非裔美国可卡因使用者。采用混合归纳和演绎方法进行数据分析，以检查影响可卡因使用和恢复的社会文化和经济过程。大多数参与者报告说，他们一生中至少有一次试图减少或戒掉可卡因的使用；减少使用或戒烟的动机包括满足社会角色期望的愿望，厌倦使用和监禁。支持禁欲的网络、参与传统活动以及宗教和精神活动提供了获得资本的机会，促进了减少可卡因的使用和清醒。旨在加强与不吸毒的家庭和朋友的联系并获得其支持的干预措施（例如，就业、信仰社区和教育）可能是减少低收入、资源贫乏社区少数群体药物使用的理想方法。
Research examining substance users’ recovery has focused on individual-level outcomes while paying limited attention to the contexts within which individuals are embedded, and the social processes involved in recovery. This paper examines factors underlying African American cocaine users’ decisions to reduce or quit cocaine use and uses practice theory to understand how lifestyle changes and shifts in social networks facilitate access to the capital needed to change cocaine use patterns. The study, an in-depth analysis of substance-use life history interviews carried out from 2010 to 2012, included 51 currently not-in-treatment African American cocaine users in the Arkansas Mississippi Delta region. A blended inductive and deductive approach to data analysis was used to examine the socio-cultural and economic processes shaping cocaine use and recovery. The majority of participants reported at least one lifetime attempt to reduce or quit cocaine use; motivations to reduce use or quit included desires to meet social role expectations, being tired of using, and incarceration. Abstinence-supporting networks, participation in conventional activities, and religious and spiritual practices afforded access to capital, facilitating cocaine use reduction and sobriety. Interventions designed to increase connection to and support from non-drug using family and friends with access to recovery capital (e.g., employment, faith community, and education) might be ideal methods to reduce substance use among minorities in low-income, resource-poor communities.
