This study aims to construct a tentative framework and implications of whole-person with the perspective of humanism to reflect on and resolve the difficulty of drug abusers’wholeperson recovery. It also encourages an initiative in which more scholars, experts and practitioners should discuss the implications of whole-person and whole-person recovery for drug abusers and reach a consensus. Using the author’s wholeperson framework and implications, the paper analyses and reflects on the definitions and guiding principles of recovery proposed by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). Results show that although the definitions of recovery proposed by SAMHSA and NIDA are based on wholeperson recovery, their guiding principles put great emphasis on the recovery from body, mind and social rehabilitation while ignoring recovery from humanity and spirit. That poses drug abusers a challenge to actualise the ultimate purpose of wholeperson recovery in their recovery process. Moreover, the paper argues that the unclear implication for whole-person and related research stuck in the trap of positivism may be the reason. In conclusion, besides recovery from body, mind and society, recovery service providers and addiction prevention programs should include recovery from humanity and spirit based on life meaning when enacting services goals and strategies; only if doing so helps drug abusers actualise the ultimate purpose of whole-person recovery. Furthermore, this study’s whole-person framework and implications and the theoretical model of steps toward Human becomings-actualisation needs could provide an integrated theoretical groundwork and work goals for establishing multiple social networks supporting drug abusers’recovery. |
