虽然人们日益认识到海洛因或酒精依赖的康复是可能的，但对长期康复过程知之甚少。苏格兰格拉斯哥的一项研究使用访谈和自我完成的问卷调查了以前有问题的海洛因或酒精使用者的康复过程。定性数据表明，康复被理解为包括但超越摆脱依赖的自由，大多数参与者认为自己的康复是一个持续的过程，而不是一个有时间限制的里程碑。动机因素通常是负面的个人经历前海洛因使用者更可能引用“生活方式”，前酒精使用者更可能引用他们的行为和健康问题，而更多的是积极的个人身份问题。社会因素，特别是同侪支持，往往被认为是维持复苏的关键。了解那些从酒精或海洛因依赖中康复的人的观点和看法，有助于发展和改进康复服务和支助。
While it is increasingly recognized that recovery from dependent use of heroin or alcohol is possible, little is known about the long-term process of recovery. A study in Glasgow, Scotland used interviews and self-completed questionnaires to investigate the recovery joumeys of former problematic users of heroin or alcohol. Qualitative data showed that recovery was understood as including but transcending freedom from dependence, and that most participants saw their own recovery as an ongoing process rather than a time-limited milestone. Motivating factors were usually negative personal experiences-with former heroin users more likely to cite "the lifestyle" and former alcohol users their behavior and health problems - and more positively around issues of personal identity. Social factors were often cited as key in sustaining recovery, especially peer support. An understanding of the views and perceptions of those who have experienced recovery from dependent use of alcohol or heroin can help to develop and improve recovery services and support.
