Reintegration of Women with Histories of SubstanceAbuse into Society, sierpień 2008 r. : U.S. policy toward individuals with substance abuse
problems has relied on stigma, discrimination, and
punishment; withholding access to education, cash
assistance, housing, social supports, and normal
social roles. This study investigates the
relationship between social supports and
participatory practices and the propensity of women
with recent histories of substance abuse to affiliate
with pro-social versus deviant lifestyles. Results
reveal that higher levels of instrumental support,
affective support, and participation in normal roles
are statistically significant predictors of lower
levels of criminal and drug using behaviors and that
women perceive social supports and participation in
normal roles of parent, employee, student, and
citizen to be critical in facilitating their return
to pro-social lifestyles. The author concludes that
current policies that withhold support and access to
fulfill normal societal roles do not increase the
propensity for women to shed deviant identities and
in fact may promote affiliation with deviance.
