Is reward and increased tolerance in substance use treatment a winning concept? : A qualitative interview study of therapists' experience of reward as a work method and how a more lenient view on drug use problems can foster the treatment process and reduce stigma around drug use (English)
Abstract [en]

The purpose of this study was to examine drug counselors' experience of using reward as a work method and how a more lenient view on substance use can help foster the treatment process and reduce stigma surrounding drug use. The study is based on semi-structured interviews with 4 drug counselors from a municipality in Sweden. The study used a qualitative approach, and the results were analyzed using an abductive approach. The data was analyzed using Becker's theory on labeling and Goffman's theory on stigmatization. The results show that drug-counselors experience the use of reward in drug treatment as an effective tool in creating a positive association to both treatment and the counselors themselves. Reward also helps fulfill an important function in promoting a non-judgmental approach which the counselors then can build upon. The results also show the complexity regarding having a more tolerant outlook on drug consumption, but also that criminalization of drug use is seen as a contributing factor in the stigmatization of youth with substance use disorder.

Abstract [sv]

Syftet med studien var att undersöka behandlares upplevelse av att använda belöning som arbetsmetod samt hur en mer tolerant syn på droganvändningsproblematik kan främja behandlingsprocessen och minska stigmatisering kring droganvändning. Datainsamlingsmetoden är semistrukturerade kvalitativa intervjuer med fyra missbruksbehandlare inom öppenvården. Studien har en kvalitativ ansats och resultatet analyserades utifrån ett abduktivt förhållningssätt. Data analyserades utifrån Beckers stämplingsteori samt Goffmans teori om stigma. Resultat visar att behandlarna upplever att belöning som arbetsmetod skapar en positiv association till såväl behandlarna som behandlingen i sig. Belöningen fyller även viktig funktion i att främja det icke dömande förhållningssättet som behandlarna arbetar utifrån. Vidare visar resultatet av studien att en tolerant syn på droganvändningsproblematik är komplext utifrån rådande lagstiftningen som kriminaliserar allt eget bruk av narkotika, samtidig som kriminaliseringen ses som en bidragande orsak till att ungdomar med en droganvändningsproblematik stigmatiseras.
