“…Second, regarding the types of treatment available to Chinese substance abusers, the current study implies that there is a positive, thought slight, direct effect of employment and community treatment in decelerating the self-stigma process, and improving employment, net of other treatments, perceived stigma, and confirmatory experiences of stigma, which is consistent with previous findings in other cultural contexts [ 5 ]. Nevertheless, it is vital to emphasize that such beneficial effects of treatment may not apply to other parts of mainland China.…”

“…Gaps in employment and employment history, a possible criminal record, and the stigma connected with substance use, all make substance abusers less likely to keep their current jobs, and more likely to have trouble finding new work in the future [ 2 ]. To improve the employment status among substance abusers, numerous treatments have been offered [ 2 , 4 , 5 ]; However, the effect size tended to be modest [ 4 ], and relapses from treatments looked to be significant [ 6 , 7 ]. A relevant body of literature has identified several attributes explaining such failures, such as beliefs about one’s personal coping ability [ 8 ], failures in abstinence [ 9 ], an inability to afford the treatment, and a lack of relevant information [ 10 ], as well as the negative impacts caused by stigma [ 8 ].…”

Employment is a vital component of a substance abuser’s recovery, but little is known about how stigma affects employment for substance abusers receiving treatment. The current study investigates the effects of stigma and treatment on employment in the Chinese context. Using a sample of substance abusers (N = 3, 978), multiple logistics regressions with moderation effects were employed. The findings show that treatments positively reduce confirmative experiences of anticipated stigma, and promote employment only when respondents do not perceive stigma. The findings highlight the impact of perceived stigma on limiting substance abusers’ chances of being employed, implying that eliminating stigma is the foundation for recovery. Possible strategies that can be explored for reducing stigma are discussed.

“…In addition, return to a pre-sober community after prolonged abstinence and relocation increases the risk of resumption of drug use. 71e73 Employment is essential to long-term recovery and survival, 74 but there is a paradoxical relationship between employment and treatment programs. Many programs or providers offer appointments during weekday hours, times in which persons may be required to work.…”

Opioid use disorder (OUD) is a pediatric and adolescent problem as most young adults (aged <25 years) in treatment programs report initiating use before 25 years of age, and there are lifelong impacts from early substance use necessitating early screening for opioid use and subsequent treatment. Medicationassisted treatment (MAT) is a highly effective intervention for OUD, and there is strong evidence for its use with adolescents; however, most adolescents with OUD are unable to access MAT or remain in MAT long term to achieve substantial recovery. Using case examples drawn from a pediatric and adolescent physician's experiences proving MAT to adolescents and young adults (ages 16e24 years), this article explores the personal and socioeconomic determinants in MAT of OUD in adolescents and young adults and provides suggestions for advocacy areas and resources to improve MAT with this population.

“…Cooccurrence of drug addiction with severe mental health problems has been highlighted in the literature [ 52 ]. Moreover, emphasis on importance of employment intervention on substance abuse treatment reveals interrelation between drug addiction and unemployment [ 53 ]. Interconnection between family conflicts or problems with drug abuse has been documented in the literature as well [ 54 ].…”

The purpose of this research was to examine the complexity of circumstances that result in deliberate self-poisoning cases. For the purposes of this paper, the cases were patients that presented for care and were admitted to the specialty hospital in Northwest of Iran. The research examined the problems preceding deliberate self-poisoning and the interrelations among them by applying network analysis methods. The network was scored for degrees of centrality and betweenness centrality. Structural analysis of network also was conducted using block modelling. The results showed that family conflicts had the highest score for degree of centrality among women, while the highest score for degree of centrality among men belonged to those dealing with drug addiction. Analysis for degree of betweenness centrality revealed that drug addiction had the highest score among men, whereas the highest score for women on betweenness centrality was related to physical illness. Structural analysis of the network showed differences in role that various problems played in intentional self-poisoning. The findings from this research can be used by public health authorities to create prevention programs that address the problems leading to deliberate self-poisoning.
