What is recovery? Is recovery a process of individual transformation, an endpoint, or a part of drug use? How do people ‘do’ recovery and how can research trace this? How do different drug policies and national drug discourses understand and enforce recovery? This book explores these questions and offers personal accounts of recovery that shed light on differences, contexts, relations, and meanings. It aims to expand research into individual, communal, and political roles of recovery and take the use of the concept beyond the discourse of free will, reintegration, and formal treatment. It is also the aim of this book to address the ques-tions on what makes recovery a contested concept, how can we better approach it, and whether there is a need to talk about recovery at all, especially in semiotic, sociomaterial, and relational forms. As the book progresses, we encounter a list of definitions that different health organi-zations, treatment professionals, and researchers have given to recovery. Merging biomedical, social-psychological, and environmental dimen-sions, recovery in itself is a delicate concept to study. Much depends on the researcher’s ideas of where to locate recovery, how and when to begin to study it, and how long to follow participants to establish whether recovery was successful, is still in progress, or became a closed chapter in someone’s life. It becomes an especially thorny issue if one tries to fix the process of recovery in such temporal dimensions. There-fore, in this book, the reader is presented with accounts that do not reveal neat and causal stories of recovery, but with ones that spur the chaos, unruliness, and contingency of day-to-day practices, of everyday life. It is the aim of this book to tell a number of stories of recovery and offer multiple definitions of the concept, as well as ways to see more clearly the erratic, arbitrary, ambiguous character of real experiences. Empowered by Science and Technology Studies (STS) theory and groundbreaking works of many critical drug scholars on rethinking new ways on how to approach concepts of addiction, consumption, drugs, and recovery, the book gradually builds from material aspects and semiotic and socioma-terial relations, to cultural and structural dimensions informing national drug discourse.
