Introduction Despite advances in addiction research and practice, addiction remains a significant public health problem with strikingly high relapse rates and low treatment retention rates. This study explored whether the concept of addiction-as-occupation aligned with the experiences of ten persons with addiction(s), and suggests that further development of a model based on this concept may help to elucidate and address some barriers to addiction recovery services.
Methods Semi-structured interviews were performed to gain descriptions of the occupational lives and first-hand experiences of ten persons with addiction(s). Transcripts were analysed using a qualitative thematic analysis methodology.
Results Seven themes were identified in the data: connection, locus of control, penetration, habituation, identity, motivation, and coping/escape. Participants in this study described their addictions using occupational terms, and addressed both the gains and harms of performing their addictions.
Conclusion Further investigation of experiences of addiction-as-occupation could be useful for informing occupational therapy interventions for substance-related and addictive disorders. Potential implications and contributions of a conceptual model based on the notion of addiction-as-occupation, as well as areas for future research, are discussed. |
