In this much-needed text, leading international experts explore crucial aspects of people' s experience of long-term recovery from substance use. Centred around the voices of people who use substances, the book examines their complex and continuing needs in seeking to change their use. In particular, it investigates the ways in which personal characteristics and social and systemic factors intersect to influence the lives of those in long-term recovery. With perspectives from Sweden, Norway, Germany, Belgium, Iceland and the UK, it also considers the role and needs of family members, and puts forward clear recommendations for improving future research, policy and practice.
