Abstract |
The present research endeavor focuses on men’s embodied sense of self as they
transgress the recovery process in opioid substitution programs. Five men the
treatment program of the Organization Against Drugs were interviewed and
Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) was applied in analyzing the data.
The men described
how the use and abuse of heroin has increased their self-consciousness, negative
sense of ownership of body parts impacted by the use of heroin, sense of agency
regarding their insatiable use and self-related representations.
Common embodied experiences during the years of heroin use among the
participants coalesced into five Group Experiential Themes: a) the powerful
“heroin high” and “burning” veins, b) the insatiable craving that becomes a sole
self-purpose and leads to entrapment, c) playing ‘hide-and-seek’ from the
addiction ‘disease’, d) the revealing body that depicts the collapse from the
‘vicious circle’ of heroin use, and d) the depleted and neglected body, self and
life. Concomitantly, the narratives reveal the internalized dominant discourses
emanating from the social world and the rehabilitation programs and their effects
on their embodied selves. Their descriptions highlighted their adoption of spoiled
identities along with subsequent undertaking and/or absence of corresponding
action and care for the body. The body seems to be bypassed or hidden, a tool that
serves heroin use, while constantly straddling the line between neglect and care.
This research is one of the few attempts to approach and investigate in depth
embodied self of men who use heroin and who are undergoing therapy with a
qualitative methodology in the Greek literature. Future research should focus on
the investigation of the embodied self in women who use drugs and in people who
are not in therapeutic programs whilst applying multimodal qualitative research
methods.
