“…Compulsory isolation detoxification is currently the most important detoxification method in China. This approach is the key to reducing the relapse tendency of individuals with drug addiction after education and correction during the detoxification period [ 4 , 5 ]. Therefore, relapse tendency is an important index to measure the effect of education correction.…”

To explore the relationship between family functioning, psychological capital, life history strategy, and relapse tendency of individuals with drug addiction, 842 individuals with drug addiction completed a questionnaire. The results showed that (1) there was a significant negative correlation between the family functioning of individuals with drug addiction and their relapse tendency; (2) psychological capital played an intermediary role between family functioning and relapse tendency; and (3) life history strategy regulated the mediating effect of psychological capital. The results of this study suggest that family members should collaborate with drug addiction treatment centers and participate in the education and treatment process to help reduce drug relapse tendency. Increasing the psychological capital and self-efficacy of individuals with drug addiction through group psychological counseling and psychological education courses could also reduce drug relapse tendency.

“…We aimed to explore abstainers’ implicit attitudes towards new-type drugs, their relapse probability and the factors that affected both variables. Furthermore, we compared our results with previous findings [ 30 , 31 ] to investigate the common points and differences between new-type drug abstainers and traditional-type drugs abstainers. We collected questionnaires and experiment data in the City Rehabilitation Center over a month.…”

Over the last decade, new-type drugs have been replacing traditional-type drugs in China. However, studies of implicit attitudes towards new-type drugs are insufficient and contradictory results exist. Previous studies have suggested that implicit attitudes and relapse tendencies are a dual structure model, but that is for traditional or mixed drug addicts. For new drug addicts, is the dual structure model completely suitable or partially supported? This study attempts to explore this point. At a drug rehabilitation center, we randomly selected 50 abstainers (25 males and 25 females; age range: 21–41 years) who only took new-type drugs prior to abstention to participate in this study. Participants complete the General Situation Questionnaire, the Drug Use Characteristics Questionnaire, the Drug Relapse Risk Scale (DRRS), and the Single Category Implicit Association Test (SC-IAT). The relationship between implicit attitudes and relapse tendencies of new-type drug abstainers towards new-type drugs was investigated. The results showed: (1) abstainers had negative attitudes towards new-type drugs, and the data had statistical correlation with abstainers’ drug use characteristics and each relapse risk index; (2) females held relatively positive implicit attitudes towards new-type drugs; (3) being female and divorced could significantly predict abstainers’ implicit attitudes; (4) there is no significant correlation between implicit attitudes and relapse tendencies of new-type drug abstainers towards new-type drugs, which partially supports the dual structure model; (5) fender influences the self-assessment of relapse probability. Compared with traditional or mixed drug addicts, the dual structure model is only partially supported for new-type drug abstainers towards new-type drugs. That is because being female and divorced are the main factors influencing implicit attitudes and relapse tendencies. A few women or divorced people regard consuming new drugs as the source of happiness and forget the harm brought by the drugs themselves in their implicit attitude, which leads to more drug abuse in their explicit behavior. Therefore, we should pay more attention to women who have become new-type drug addicts and pay special attention to the impact of divorce.

“…In addition, the traditional service industry and manufacturing industry are under great threat [65], and there have been layoffs, wage arrears, bankruptcy and other phenomena that have aggravated the psychological distress of PWUD with respect to the economic situation of their families [66], making them prone to negative emotions. Moreover, compared to people in individualistic cultures, Chinese people, who live in a collectivist culture, are more introverted, and most individuals are reluctant to express their emotions openly and tell their loved ones about stressful events; instead, they generally choose to hide their emotions [3]. On the other hand, drug use is a crime in China, and it is often not tolerated even within the family; families may minimize mention of and avoid talking about the PWUD due to the traditional culture of "not washing your dirty linen in public" [67].…”

“…Isolation due to COVID-19 may have some impact on family functioning and family intimacy; however, the combined effect on the psychological (anxiety), social (social support, family emotional connection) and behavioural (substance abuse, relapse) of PWUD in complete isolation is currently unknown. Little is known about the psychosocial processes in PWUD, and the theoretical basis of relapse research is still being developed [3,4]. Participants in this study were all PWUD in compulsory isolation and rehabilitation institutions.…”

Background Drug addiction is difficult to overcome. The relapse rate is high, and the negative impact on individuals, families and society is severe, therefore exploring social psychological mechanisms to reduce relapse has very important theoretical and practical value. However, the underlying mechanism by which the interaction between family and individual factors influences the tendency to relapse remain unclear. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to discuss the relationship between family intimacy and relapse tendency of people who use drugs, as well as the mediating effect of psychological capital and the role of self-efficacy in it. Methods A total of 817 male who use drugs were investigated via the Family Intimacy and Adaptability Scale, General Self-Efficacy Scale, Positive Psychological Capital Questionnaire and Relapse Tendency Questionnaire. Using Hayes’s process macro carried out moderated mediation analysis. Results (1) The average family intimacy score of people who use drugs was low. (2) Family intimacy negatively predicted relapse tendency in people who use drugs. (3) Psychological capital mediated the relationship between family intimacy and relapse tendency. (4) The first half of the indirect effect of family intimacy on relapse tendency was regulated by self-efficacy, compared with the low level of self-efficacy, the psychological capital level with high self-efficacy is higher. Conclusion The results of this study suggest that the intimacy between the people who use drugs and their family members should be improved, and the rehabilitation center should take various measures to enhance the psychological capital level and the level of self-efficacy of the people who use drugs, which will be helpful to reduce their relapse tendency.
