An Anthropologist Living with Recovering Heroin Addicts: Lessons for Counselors
This workshop presents a treatment program for substance abusers carried out at a therapeutic community treatment located in rural Hungary. The program was studied by an anthropologist who lived and worked with community members during 2003 and 2004. The community has long had success in treating substance abusers and today five years after leaving the community all but two of the graduates of the treatment program from that period live clean, sober and productive lives. It will touch upon those aspects of the program revealed by ethnographic fieldwork which appear to play key roles in helping the recovery processes of the members of this therapeutic community.
