Tiivistelmä
The abuse of drugs has a serious effect on public health and is one of the main risk factors for poor health globally. Globally, 35 million people are suffering from drug use disorders and require treatment services. Every year, 3.3 million people die from the abuse of drugs. In Norway, the average drug-induced mortality rate among adults (aged 15-64 years) was 75 deaths per million in 2016. Therefore, there is a need for adequate social and health service provision, accompanied by the social inclusion of people with substance use disorder. The special emphasis needs to be put on how the drug-free relationships and drug-free environment influence the recovery process of the substance user.

The aim of the research-orientated thesis was to investigate whether building drug-free relationships is an important and needed part of the recovery process for the drug abusers. The research was conducted in Oslo, Norway. This research was facilitated by an NGO, Center for Volunteering in the Field of Substance Abuse (SAFIR), a working life partner.

This research is based on a quantitative approach. A research questionnaire was developed, which was based on a Likert scale, to collect the data from participants in SAFIR (employees, volunteers, service users). The collected data were analyzed using frequencies and percentages.

This study provides insight into how drug-free relationships - professional and non-professional – are important for establishing and maintaining recovery from substance use. The results disclosed that drug-free relationships are highly important in the recovery process of drug users. The results of this research thesis are parallel to prior research studies which confirm that relationship building is an important part of the recovery process of the substance abuser. Due to the limited number of participants, the results of this research cannot be generalized outside the SAFIR. However, future research can be conducted by considering by expending the questionnaire population, together with exploring the impacts of environmental factors (economy, culture, availability of drugs and alcohol) on substance use.
