在过去十年中，墨西哥的吸毒成瘾人数急剧增加，尤其是在城市贫困人口中。与此同时，不受监管的成瘾住院治疗中心（即anexos）在全国各地激增。这些中心由边缘人群使用和经营，众所周知，它们从事身体暴力。基于在墨西哥城的长期人种学研究，本文描述了为什么会出现anexos，它们是如何起作用的，以及它们的流行和实践揭示了在贫困、毒品和暴力是存在现实的背景下康复的本质。它使人们注意到暴力与康复、疼痛和治疗之间的动态关系，使那些被认为具有排他性意义的暴力和护理类别复杂化，阐明了康复的不同意义和机会，以及这些意义是如何在社会上配置和维持的。
Over the last decade, there has been a sharp increase in drug addiction in Mexico, especially among the urban poor. During the same period, unregulated residential treatment centers for addiction, known as anexos, have proliferated throughout the country. These centers are utilized and run by marginalized populations and are widely known to engage in physical violence. Based on long-term ethnographic research in Mexico City, this article describes why anexos emerged, how they work, and what their prevalence and practices reveal about the nature of recovery in a context where poverty, drugs, and violence are existential realities. Drawing attention to the dynamic relationship between violence and recovery, pain, and healing, it complicates categories of violence and care that are presumed to have exclusive meaning, illuminating the divergent meanings of, and opportunities for, recovery, and how these are socially configured and sustained.
