Full texttreatment, they lingered with the participants while they were in the unit, and remained to be addressed when they left. Whilst undergoing detoxification the participants encountered the second part of disequilibrium which was categorised as Incompatibility. The problem of Incompatibility was related to the heterogeneity of the participants and the structure of the treatment program that in many cases was unable to accommodate individual differences and needs.The core or basic social psychological process was conceptualised as Seeking Balance through Hanging In. The participants engaged in this process to deal with the disequilibrium of the precursor problem of Hitting the Wall and the problem of Incompatibility encountered in the unit. Seeking Balance through Hanging In was found to have four phases. The phases were Making the Break, Submitting to Cleansing, Fitting In, and Moving On. The process was linear in that the phases were sequential, and failure to complete a phase meant dropping out of the detoxification program. The experience of detoxification was modified by several contextual conditions. These were the physical enviroment, the participants' expectations of withdrawal symptoms, and the workload of the staff.The substantive theory, Seeking Balance through Hanging In, integrated all emergent categories, and explained the experience of the phenomenon of withdrawal from psychoactive drugs in a particular context. Recommendations for further research include testing the described phases and relationships of the substantive theory in similar environments, exploring the importance of the modifying conditions on client outcomes, and undertaking follow-up studies to determine the outcomes of those who completed the program as compared to the outcomes of those who dropped out. In addition, further studies are recommended to assess the transientness of the level ++
of minor psychiatric morbidity detected among the participants in this study.The findings of this study make an important contribution to understanding the experience of detoxification from the perspective of the participants. The substantive theory has implications for clinical practice, professional education, management, and further research.

People who inject drugs, particularly opioids, are a growing population, especially in North Philadelphia. This population is at high risk for medical complications that require hospitalization. While hospitalized, this population poses unique challenges to the healthcare system, including high costs and readmission rates, as well as stress and burnout among providers and staff. These patients are at high risk of discharges against medical advice because of complicated social factors as well as inadequate recognition of pain and withdrawal. As the opioid epidemic evolves, previous strategies for managing these patients, which traditionally relied on referral to psychiatry or social work in addition to symptomatic treatment, need to be re-evaluated. Ethically, the decision-making capacity of these patients is frequently called into question, and there is a difficult-to-strike balance between respecting their autonomy and acting with beneficence to provide the best care. There are also public health concerns that come into play. Better acknowledgment of the issues that this population faces, and better management of pain and withdrawal, may improve their outcomes, as well as reduce provider stress and burnout.

Full textThe recent decline in police legitimacy (Gallup Poll, 2015) has increased the need for procedural justice. Law enforcement agencies that employ procedural justice can restore legitimacy, build trust, and enhance citizen satisfaction. Using secondary data collected from 99 homeless injecting drug users in Skid Row, Los Angeles, this study shows that despite the legal outcome of a police encounter (i.e., arrest, citation), when officers utilize procedural justice (e.g., act fairly, treat the individual with respect, and refrain from using unnecessary force, yelling or using inappropriate language), citizen satisfaction with the encounter is positive. This study provides compelling evidence for the need for procedurally just practices to re-establish the diminishing legitimacy of and trust in law enforcement agencies.

Thesis, McGill University, 2002. http://digitool.Library.McGill.CA:80/R/?func=dbin-jump-full&object_id=82835.
Full textObjectives. The objectives were: (1) to develop and evaluate a QOL measure for IDUs, the Injection Drug User Quality of Life Scale (IDUQOL), (2) to describe the QOL of cocaine and heroin IDUs and identify its constituents and correlates, and (3) to describe the relation between the QOL of cocaine and heroin IDUs and the use of public health programs.
Methods. The psychometric properties of the IDUQOL were assessed in 61 IDUs, 85% of whom were re-interviewed within 4-weeks. The Flanagan Quality of Life Scale was used to assess the criterion validity of the IDUQOL. The IDUQOL was subsequently applied in a study of 260 Montreal IDUs to identify their most important life areas. Associations between QOL and the use of public health programs and other correlates were assessed using multiple linear regression.
Results. The IDUQOL had good psychometric properties: the test-retest reliability was within accepted standards (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.71) and the concurrent criterion validity between the IDUQOL and the Flanagan was moderate (Pearson coefficient = 0.57). In the study of 260 Montreal IDUs, housing was the most frequently selected life area of cocaine IDUs. Heroin IDUs most frequently selected money and feeling good about yourself. Both cocaine and heroin IDUs were generally dissatisfied with how these life areas fared. QOL was significantly better for HIV positive IDUs and IDUs who used meal programs, and was worse for IDUs who attended shelters and emergency departments. No strong relations were found with needle exchange program use, methadone or other drug treatment.
Conclusion. The IDUQOL appeared to be a conceptually clear and culturally relevant QOL instrument with good psychometric properties. Programs that address the life conditions of IDUs might be needed foremost to other initiatives. Understanding the constituents and correlates of the QOL of IDUs is important to the development of more effective programs to curb disease transmission, and improve the well-being of IDUs.
