- Abstract
- The purpose with our essay was to increase our knowledge about what social workers, with experience from working with drug addicts, perceive as the explanations to a person stopping the abuse and succeed in staying drug free. Our framing of the question was:

- What do the social worker believe to be the reason why a person stops abusing drugs?
- What do the social worker perceive as helpful for a person to stay drug free?

The reason for stropping the drug abuse can vary, it can be the family situation, "hitting rock bottom", finding love or tiring. The roll of the social worker was not of vital importance. For a continuing drug free life the person had to have support from their environment, like AA or NA or a good social network. (Less)
