AI Article Synopsis
- In 2016, the Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction conducted a survey revealing that individuals in recovery from addiction often lead meaningful lives but face significant barriers that can hinder their recovery journey.
- Analysis of survey data from 855 participants showed that delays in treatment and lack of stable housing increase the risk of relapse, with factors such as weak social support networks and high costs of recovery services also contributing to this risk.
- The study emphasizes the need for targeted investments to address these barriers to enhance the recovery experiences and outcomes for individuals dealing with addiction.
Article Abstract
Objectives: In 2016, the Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction (CCSA) conducted the first survey of individuals in recovery from addiction in Canada. The findings revealed that many individuals in recovery lead meaningful lives, contributing to their families and society. However, participants also identified a number of barriers to starting and maintaining recovery. The current study examined the relationship between the barriers experienced and relapse during recovery.
Methods: Data from the 2016 Life in Recovery (LIR) from Addiction in Canada survey were analyzed using descriptive and logistic regression analyses. Participants comprised 855 individuals (M = 47.3 years), all of whom self-reported being in recovery from addiction.
Results: Logistic regressions revealed that upon starting recovery, long delays for treatment, odds ratio (OR) = 1.77, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.21-2.60, < 0.01, and not having stable housing, OR = 1.83, 95% CI = 1.14-2.95, < 0.05, were associated with increased risk of relapse. Moreover, upon examining barriers to maintaining recovery, a lack of supportive social networks, OR = 2.10, 95% CI = 1.26-3.48, < 0.01, a lack of programs or supports, OR = 1.75, 95% CI = 1.03-2.98, < 0.05, and the costs of recovery services OR = 1.73, 95% CI = 1.02-2.91, < 0.05 were associated with increased risk of relapse.
Conclusions: Targeted investments to address the treatment-related barriers that most strongly relate to relapse, could significantly improve the lives of individuals struggling with addiction and those beginning and maintaining their recovery journey.
Objectifs: En 2016, le Centre canadien de lutte contre l'alcoolisme et les toxicomanies (CCLAT) a mené un premier sondage auprès des personnes en rétablissement à la suite d'une dépendance au Canada. Les résultats ont révélé que de nombreuses personnes en rétablissement mènent des vies significatives, contribuant ainsi à leur famille et à la société. Cependant, les participants ont également identifié un certain nombre d'obstacles au démarrage et au maintien du rétablissement. La présente étude a examiné la relation entre les obstacles rencontrés et la rechute pendant le rétablissement.
MÉthodes: Les données de l'enquête Life in Recovery (LIR) de l'Enquête sur la toxicomanie au Canada de 2016 ont été analysées à l'aide d'analyses de régression descriptives et logistiques. Les participants comprenaient 855 individus (Moyenne d'âge = 47,3 ans), qui ont tous déclaré être en rétablissement après une dépendance.
RÉsultats: Les régressions logistiques ont révélé qu'au début du rétablissement, de longs délais de traitement, chance de réussite (CR) = 1,77, intervalle de confiance à 95% (IC) = 1,21-2,60, < 0,01, et n'ayant pas de logement stable, CR = 1,83, IC 95% = 1,14-2,95, < 0,05, étaient associés à un risque accru de rechute. De plus, en examinant les obstacles au maintien du rétablissement, un manque de réseaux sociaux de soutien, CR = 2.10, IC à 95% = 1.26-3.48, < 0.01, manque de programmes ou de soutien, CR = 1.75, IC à 95% = 1.03-2,98, < 0,05, et les coÛts des services de récupération CR = 1,73, IC 95% = 1,02-2,91, < 0,05 étaient associés à un risque accru de rechute.
Conclusions: Des investissements ciblés visant à surmonter les obstacles liés au traitement les plus étroitement liés à la rechute pourraient améliorer considérablement la vie des personnes aux prises avec une dépendance et de celles qui amorcent et poursuivent leur chemin vers le rétablissement.

Background: Barriers to mental health assessment and intervention have been well documented within South Africa, in both urban and rural settings. Internationally, evidence has emerged for the effectiveness of technology and, specifically, app-based mental health tools and interventions to help overcome some of these barriers. However, research on digital interventions specific to the South African context and mental health is limited.

Background And Objectives: Urological complications after kidney transplantation, due to the ureteroneocystostomy, are associated with significant morbidity, prolonged hospital stay and even mortality. Ureteral stents can minimize the number of complications but are not consistently used, as previous studies were retrospective in nature. We aim to prospectively determine the most effective stenting approach.

Psychological interventions may make a valuable contribution to recovery following a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and have been advocated for in treatment consensus guidelines. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a more recently developed therapeutic option that may offer an effective approach. Consequently, we developed ACTion mTBI, a 5-session ACT-informed intervention protocol.

While patients with post-stroke aphasia recover over time, the dynamics of the underlying changes in the brain remain elusive. Neuroimaging work demonstrated that language recovery is a heterogeneous process, characterized by varying activation levels in several regions of the left-hemispheric language network and the domain-general bilateral multiple-demand network.
