Abstract
BACKGROUND: Understanding resilience among abstinent individuals with substance use disorder would help in enhancing recovery. AIM: To examine the resilience among abstinent individuals with substance use disorder. METHODS: The study used a cross-sectional research design. Sample size: 60 samples were selected using a consecutive sampling procedure. Using interview schedule, data was collected from abstinent individuals receiving follow-up services at the out-patient department, government-run de-addiction centre, tertiary care teaching hospital, Bangalore. Persons with SUDs aged between 18-60 years with a minimum abstinence period of three months and above were included. Those who were refused consent for the study were excluded. Statistical test: Descriptive statistics, Spearmen correlation and logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the data. RESULTS: Mean age of the abstinent individuals was 39.6 (S.D ±9.5) years. Majority (75%) were married, employed (98%), having diagnosis of alcohol dependence (60%). Majority (80%) had past history of abstinence, 40% were maintaining abstinence more than three months. Most (60%) were treated on out-patient basis and they never hospitalized. Mean score of resilience among abstinent individuals was 75 (±9.94) which indicates high resilience in them. CONCLUSION: Social work interventions focusing on enhancing resilience among person with substance use disorder would help in maintaining long-term abstinence.
