Enhancing commitment to sobriety among drug users can lead to longer and healthier recovery. This study aims to explore factors that predict the commitment to sobriety among drug users. According to Recovery Capital Theory, we examined the associations among self-stigma, positive recovery capital, and commitment to sobriety. A questionnaire survey and a web-based survey were used simultaneously. SPSS was employed to analyze 380 questionnaires through independent t-tests, Pearson correlations, and regression analyses. The results indicated that: (1) commitment to sobriety had a positive correlation to self-stigma; (2) commitment to sobriety had a positive correlation to recovery capital; and (3) positive recovery capital significantly moderated stigma and sobriety. These findings suggest that self-stigma and positive recovery capital are significant predictors of commitment to sobriety. Additionally, positive recovery capital appears to have a stronger impact than self-stigma and can significantly moderate the relationship between stigma and sobriety. Demographic factors such as age and incarceration experience also significantly predict commitment to sobriety. Future local research should aim to carefully interpret the relationship between self-stigma and commitment to sobriety among drug users. Optimizing community services within the criminal justice system and broader social reintegration programs to support ex-offenders are important components of positive recovery capital and would prove beneficial for drug users seeking to increase their commitment to sobriety in Taiwan. |
