Abstract

The paper explores the varied implications of cure, healing, and recovery and considers why recovery is often the preferred characterization in relation to a medicalized drug dependency. The positive as well as the negative dimensions of recovery are noted; the ethical challenges of the primarily processual associations of recovery are investigated; and some policy implications are indicated.
