![]() | The Clinic and Elsewhere: Addiction, Adolescents, and the Afterlife of Therapy Subjects: Drug addiction -- Treatment -- Maryland -- Baltimore -- Case studies; Drug abusers -- Rehabilitation -- Maryland -- Baltimore -- Case studies; Teenagers -- Drug use -- Maryland -- Baltimore -- Case studies; Rehabilitation centers -- Maryland -- Baltimore; Despite increasingly nuanced understandings of the neurobiology of addiction and a greater appreciation of the social and economic conditions that allow drug dependency to persist, there remain many unknowns regarding the individual experience of substance abuse and its treatment. In recent years, novel pharmaceutical therapies have given rise to both new hopes for recovery and renewed fears about drug diversion and abuse. In The Clinic and Elsewhere , Todd Meyers looks at the problems of meaning caused by drug dependency and appraises the changing terms of medical intervention today. Todd Meyers is assistant professor of medical anthropology at Wayne State University in Detroit. |
