The aim of the study was to gain insight into the experiences and perspectives of male substance abusers who participated in a community program, with a particular focus on the role that their families played in their desistance journey from substance abuse. A qualitative research approach was adopted since the study's aim was exploratory. Thirty male participants were recruited through purposive sampling. Through interviews, participants were requested to express their emotions or experiences related to the following: being released from prison, abstaining from substance abuse, and their perceived level of assistance from their families. The findings of this study highlighted the positive influence of family support on the recovery of substance abusers. The findings showed that individuals with substance use disorder were more likely to rely on their family for assistance in contrast to other aspects (i.e., CBT counseling). The findings’ significance is considered in terms of desistance and social relations.

The emergence of tertiary desistance underscores the need to go beyond the current focus on behavioral and identity/cognitive transformation in desistance research and take into account the social context that impacts desisters. This study aims to explore the experiences of people with a criminal history during the tertiary desistance phase by conducting a qualitative metasynthesis. We conducted literature searches across seven databases in January 2023: CINAHL, MEDLINE, ProQuest, PubMed, PsychINFO, Scopus, and Web of Science. After screening and assessing the quality of identified qualitative studies on tertiary desistance, we selected 13 relevant studies. Our synthesis indicates that desisters commonly encounter numerous challenges due to the stigma associated with their past criminal activities, which may result in feelings of insecurity, a negative self-image, and a reluctance to socialize with others. However, once desisters are recognized and trusted by significant others and society, they utilize the recognition and trust to overcome the stigma and experience a positive change in their sense of belonging. Given that tertiary desistance is an interactive process involving both people with a criminal history and society, it falls upon society to afford them a second chance at rehabilitation and reintegration.
