“…For example, the presence of varied types of social support (friend, family, support groups) appear to aid in the alcohol recovery process by promoting sustained abstinence within alcohol anonymous groups (for review see, Groh, Jason, & Keys, 2008). The process of social identity formation within recovery groups may help maintain cessation of the addictive substance, alluded to in the social identity model of cessation maintenance (SIMCM; Frings & Albery, 2015;Frings, Collins, Long, Pinto, & Albery, 2016, and the SIMOR model; Best et al, 2016). Here, it is suggested that when individuals are in recovery, moving from a social identity of 'addict' to one associated with recovery such as 'recovering addicts' or 'alcohol abstainers', enhances ones belief of cessation self-efficacy and control (Buckingham, Frings, & Albery, 2013).…”

“…In large part, the "12 Steps," as they are colloquially referenced, emphasize the importance of social support, subjective mental states, and spirituality in the journey of substance abuse recovery (Best et al, 2016). While seemingly innocuous and universally appreciated positive recovery anchors, this orientation does not necessarily confer identical benefits across racial groups.…”

This study leverages critical race and legal epidemiological frameworks to illustrate the race-based historical evolution of U.S. rehabilitation paradigms directed at imprisoned heroin and opioid users. What began as a racist early-20th-century federal antinarcotic trafficking effort has since assumed a state-based treatment agenda whose programmatic operations are largely based in correctional settings disproportionately reserved for poor substance abusers of color. Even in contemporary carceral facilities, where incarcerated populations are teeming with White addicts, in the aggregate, White drug abusers have been protected from the depraved, incorrigible, and inherently pathological drug-using caricature assigned to their non-White counterparts. This historical examination demonstrates how links between broader drug policy and prison-based drug treatment support a legally codified White supremacist narrative that erodes health and wellbeing for program participants of color, and the communities to which they inevitably return.

“…the Social Identity Model of Cessation Maintenance [13] and the Social Identity Model of Recovery [14]). Naturally, in daily life, carrying out such a 'new' identity may not be easy: Dimoff & Sayette underscore the fact that social identity is derived from group membership and accompanying social norms [15], and that most smokers have strong social connections with other people who smoke.…”
