“…This presents another level of conflict for individuals who struggle to manage SNS usage. Unlike the peer pressure discussed as a factor influencing relapse in drug addiction ( Barati et al., 2021 ), SNS users face societal norms where in many nations the majority of citizens are SNS users ( Ofcom, 2020 ; Pew Research Center, 2021 ) and are using these platforms on a daily basis ( Facebook, 2019 ; Pew Research Center, 2019 , 2021 ), making socialising without SNS challenging and even lonely.…”

Background and AimsProblematic Social Networking Site Use (PSNSU) is not a formally recognised addiction, but it is increasingly discussed as such in academic research and online. Taking a quantitative, exploratory approach, this study aims to (1) determine whether PSNSU is presented like clinically defined addictions by the affected community and (2) address how well measurements of PSNSU fit with the thematic content found within the associated discourse.MethodsFour corpora were created for this study: a corpus concerning PSNSU and three control corpora concerning established addictions, including Alcohol Use Disorder, Tobacco Use Disorder and Gaming Disorder. Keywords were identified, collocates and concordances were explored, and shared themes were compared.ResultsFindings show broad thematic similarities between PSNSU and the three control addictions as well as prominent interdiscursive references, which indicate possible confirmation bias among speakers.ConclusionsScales based upon the components model of addiction are suggested as the most appropriate measure of this emerging disorder.

“…When evaluating post-treatment conditions (formal support, informal support, and engagement in activities) individually, our findings are in line with previous studies, associating their presence with abstinence and their absence with relapse. 8,10,[47][48][49][50] For individuals with baseline social disintegration, all post-treatment conditions appear to synergistically facilitate abstinence, suggesting that comprehensive aftercare, encompassing both formal and informal support, along with engagement in activities, holds promise as an effective intervention. In contrast, individuals with milder baseline issues no longer rely on formal post-treatment support as a critical factor for achieving abstinence.…”

“…Numerous studies have explored biological, genetic, psychological, and environmental factors that may predict post-treatment abstinence or relapse, 5 , 8–16 showing inconclusive results. 10 For instance, while most studies link psychiatric co-morbidity to an increased relapse risk, 17 , 18 some studies suggest a reduced risk.…”

Purpose Substance use disorder (SUD) can be a chronic relapsing condition with poor treatment outcomes. Studies exploring factors associated with abstinence or relapse after treatment are often quantitative in nature, applying linear statistical approaches, while abstinence and relapse result from non-linear, complex, dynamic and synergistic processes. This study aims to explore these underlying dynamics using qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) as a mixed methods approach to further our understanding of factors contributing to post-treatment abstinence and relapse. Patients and Methods In a prospective study, we gathered both qualitative and quantitative data pertaining to post-treatment substance use and the factors linked to substance use outcomes. These factors encompassed psychiatric comorbidity, intellectual disability, social disintegration, post-treatment support, and engagement in activities among patients who had undergone inpatient treatment for severe SUD (n = 58). QCA, a set-theoretic approach that considers the complex interplay of multiple conditions, was applied to discern which factors were necessary or sufficient for the occurrence of either abstinence or relapse. Results We found two solutions predicting abstinence, and five for relapse. Post-treatment conditions (support and engagement in activities) were important for retaining abstinence. For relapse, individual baseline characteristics (intellectual disability, social disintegration, psychiatric comorbidity) combined with (post-)treatment factors (post-treatment support, activities) were important. Conclusion Although abstinence and relapse represent opposing outcomes, they each exhibit distinct dynamics. To gain a comprehensive understanding of these dynamics, it is advisable to examine them as separate outcomes. For clinical practice, it can be worthwhile to recognize that fostering the conditions conducive to abstinence may differ from preventing the factors that trigger relapse.
