从概念上讲，严重涉毒妇女的社会支持是复杂和多方面的。本文考察了在进入法院强制戒毒治疗计划前6个月内吸毒的女性罪犯（N= 100）的社会支持系统的结构和功能。这些系统通常包含大约9名支持者，男女人数几乎相等，大约一半的女性支持者是家庭成员。这些女性认为父母和伴侣是她们实际帮助和建议的主要提供者。他们最希望伴侣倾听他们的心声，最希望父母肯定他们的自我价值。总体而言，三分之二的女性认为母亲是她们的支持者。这些母亲往往急于尽其所能帮助她们的女儿停止吸毒。矛盾的是，许多母亲在提供金钱或基本生活必需品方面给予女儿的帮助往往使女儿能够吸毒。尽管许多女儿感激母亲的帮助，但在许多母女关系中存在着不信任和控制的因素，有些女儿从母亲那里得到了不必要的帮助。药物治疗提供者可以从了解其客户的社会支持系统中受益，特别是与主要预处理支持者（如父母）的重要关系的动态。通过获得这种理解并帮助他们的客户有效地接受和使用社会支持，治疗提供者可以帮助他们在离开治疗并返回社区时保持康复。
Conceptually, social support among very heavily drug-involved women is complex and multidimensional. This article examines the structure and function of the social support systems of women offenders (N= 100) who used drugs during the last 6 months before entering court-mandated drug-free treatment programs. These systems typically contain about nine supporters, almost equally divided between men and women, and about half of the women's supporters are family members. The women identify parents and partners as their major providers of practical help and advice. They look most to their partners for a sympathetic ear, and to their parents for affirmation of their self-worth. Overall, two-thirds of the women identify their mothers as among their supporters. These mothers are often anxious to do whatever they can to help their daughters stop using drugs. Paradoxically, the assistance many mothers give their daughters in providing money or basic life necessities often enables the daughter's drug use. Although many daughters appreciate their mother's help, there is an element of distrust and control in many of the mother-daughter relationships, and some daughters receive unwanted help from their mothers. Drug treatment providers can benefit from understanding their clients' social support systems, especially the dynamics of important relationships with main pretreatment supporters, such as parents. By gaining this understanding and helping their clients to effectively accept and use social support, treatment providers can assist them in maintaining their recovery when they leave treatment and return to their communities.
