White Papers Week 1: Addiction

The Criminalization of Addiction

Privilege and Addiction
Christopher Poulos Headshot

Introduction

Attaining abstinence and sustaining long-term recovery is vastly more difficult for people who lack financial security, education, health insurance, and a strong support system of family, friends, and colleagues. These resources make up key aspects of a person’s
“recovery capital,” or the amount of internal and external assets that can be utilized to attain and sustain recovery. Access to 1 medical detoxification, treatment, and peer support services differs based on the presence or absence of these factors. Those in a
position of privilege are better positioned to access treatment and recovery support services.
