The current study attempts to explore the possible connection between a formerly opiate-addicted individual's ability to maintain long-term (10 years or more) abstinence from the use of opiates and a personality construct defined as resilience. My premise is that it is not only the method of rehabilitation that affords an individual the opportunity and the ability to gain freedom over their addiction problem but also specific qualities within the personality. This study also explores the possibility that an individual can consciously cultivate and build a foundation of supportive characteristics in adulthood that can help to prevent relapses into opiate addiction.

520 $a The current study attempts to explore the possible connection between a formerly opiate-addicted individual's ability to maintain long-term (10 years or more) abstinence from the use of opiates and a personality construct defined as resilience. My premise is that it is not only the method of rehabilitation that affords an individual the opportunity and the ability to gain freedom over their addiction problem but also specific qualities within the personality. This study also explores the possibility that an individual can consciously cultivate and build a foundation of supportive characteristics in adulthood that can help to prevent relapses into opiate addiction.
520 $a Data was gathered from 10 individuals using a semi-structured interview. The interview questions were designed to capture the lived experience of each participant as they have been experiencing their recovery from opiate addiction. The interview questions were also aimed at discovering the presence, absence or level of importance of six personality characteristics that have been identified as being "resilient" characteristics (Werner & Smith 1982; Masten, 2001; Vaillant, 1993; Higgins, 1994; Garmezy, 1985; Rutter, 1985; Rutter & Quinton, 1984). These characteristics are attribution, self-efficacy, internal locus of control, motivation, goal-setting and self esteem. Their responses were analyzed qualitatively using grounded theory methodology. Participants were also given The Resiliency Skills and Abilities Scale.
520 $a Results of this study seem to indicate that four of the personality characteristics (self-efficacy, internal locus of control, motivation and self esteem) can develop over time in an individual. These characteristics seem to build upon themselves and to support ongoing recovery. A second finding is that a high level of self esteem is not crucial in order to achieve long-term recovery from opiate addiction. Quality of recovery, however, was found to be enhanced by higher self esteem.
520 $a The findings of this study have relevance for implementation in drug treatment facilities, both inpatient and outpatient, in the area of gearing treatment modalities towards the development of personality characteristics that support ongoing recovery and quality of life. Individual clinicians and therapists can also benefit from these findings to help them understand and aid their clients presenting with addiction issues.
