Abstract

The present qualitative study explores the lived experience of prison drug treatment in Greece, from the inmates’ perspective. The experience of rehabilitation treatment is interlinked with prison environment, raising important questions as to whether prison can be a suitable treatment environment. The research primarily focuses on studying how the dynamics of imprisonment affect the rehabilitation therapeutic process. The aim is to understand in depth the subjects’ experiences and the meanings these experiences hold for them. Due to this, Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis was applied. Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with male prisoners, members of therapeutic center for drug addict prisoners. Three hyper-themes emerged from the analysis of the empirical data: (1) Drug dependence and imprisonment: the rehabilitation perspective (2) Drug treatment in a state of confinement: difficulties and contradictions based on differentiated experiences and (3) Focusing on the therapeutic process. Findings shed light on how specific strands of the experiences of imprisonment and drug dependence contribute to the decision to quit using drugs and enter treatment. In addition, the way imprisonment inserts and acts upon the therapeutic process is featured. Research also contributes to enriching our understanding of how patients are experiencing and identifying key components of addiction treatment, such as psychotherapy and group therapy. Finally, participants’ dominant narrative pattern is presented. The limitations of the findings and suggestions for future research are discussed.
