“…The gained results on the one hand confirm the relevance of Hobfoll's COR theory while on the other empirically support current analysis on the basis of Polish studies and enrich them with specific tools for therapeutic work [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36]. The analyses above at the same time constitute an empirical support for research into the role of factors that promote the process of alcohol dependent persons' return to health [15,16,[37][38][39].…”

“…Analysis of the results accentuates the fact of the existence of a group of alcohol dependent persons who do not take advantage of therapy based on total abstinence and will not achieve a therapeutic aim formulated as such [38][39][40]. Taking into account the cost and indicator of this type of treatment's effectiveness, it becomes justified to seek criteria supporting the classification of patients to a standard programme of treatment or to an alternative form of help that is the harm-reduction approach.…”

“…Uzyskane wyniki z jednej strony potwierdzają doniosłość założeń Teorii Zachowania Zasobów (COR) Hobfolla, z drugiej zaś empirycznie wspierają dotychczasowe analizy na gruncie polskich badań, wzbogacając je o konkretne narzędzia do pracy terapeutycznej [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36]. Powyższe analizy stanowią jednocześnie empiryczne wsparcie dla badań nad rolą czynników, które wspomagają proces zdrowienia osób uzależnionych od alkoholu [15,16,[37][38][39].…”

“…Analiza wyników akcentuje fakt istnienia grupy osób uzależnionych od alkoholu, które nie skorzystają z terapii opartej na całkowitej abstynencji i nie osiągną tak sformułowanego celu terapeutycznego [38][39][40]. Biorąc pod uwagę koszty oraz wskaźnik efektywności tego typu leczenia, zasadne staje się poszukiwanie kryteriów wspomagających klasyfikację pacjentów do standardowego programu leczenia lub też do alternatywnej formy pomocy, jaką jest strategia redukcji szkód.…”

“…Alcohol‐related problems represent a major health challenge, and there has been increased interest in addiction treatment. However, the majority of patients who have received treatment for their alcohol abuse disorder experience one or more relapses with problematic alcohol use . Individuals who suffer from alcohol disorders have been met with the impossible demands of pulling themselves together and have occasionally been stigmatised and considered responsible for their own misfortune.…”

The majority of patients being treated for alcohol abuse disorders experience one or more relapses after treatment. The fact that people use this inebriant in a way leading to so much harm and suffering might seem a conundrum. Therapists, family and others might find the person's relapse to be dramatic and upsetting, and one might question whether the person has the sufficient will or motivation to change. However, few previous studies have explored relapse from the patient's perspective. The aim of this study was to illuminate the patient's lived experience of relapse and to develop a deeper understanding of this phenomenon. The study consisted of qualitative interviews using a phenomenological hermeneutical approach. Three main themes emerged from the analyses: 'craving', 'self-image' and 'time'. The findings were discussed in the context of phenomenological literature. Cravings could occur unpredictably; nevertheless, craving was a common experience for the patients and signified a risk of relapse. Bodily experiences of craving were frequently mentioned, and alcohol addiction could be understood as to be a disease or a learned habit. Self-image was, at times, adversely affected by relapse episodes. Therefore, feelings of shame, self-respect and recognition were significant concepts. This study found that the perception of time as past, present and future greatly influenced the participants' experiences of relapse and rehabilitation. Thus, relapse was an upsetting and dramatic experience that could cause great discomfort and sometimes life-threatening situations. However, relapse could also be viewed as a planned event. This study highlights important truth and reality about alcoholism and relapse grounded in people's lived experience.

Career counseling as relapse prevention: A theoretical look at social cognitive career theory in supporting recovery from substance use

There is emerging evidence on the relationship between career outcomes and success in substance use recovery, in that individuals who are gainfully employed are more likely to have positive recovery outcomes, including reduced risk of relapse. Although career interventions for those in recovery exist, no intervention has focused on the intersection of career development and relapse prevention. This article explores a theoretical integration of relapse prevention and social cognitive career theory to increase the self‐efficacy, outcome expectancies, and coping of individuals in recovery, as well as implications and practical applications of this orientation for both career and substance use counselors.
