Abstract

The results of a pilot study of eleven socially integrated heroin users reveal that they maintain their social integration because of and not in spite of their heroin consumption. They manage to combine their regular use of heroin with a conventional life style by using everyday strategies in the way of handle their own body, their money, the stigmatisation and the stress of drug use. Those interviewed describe a controlling/controlled use of heroin within the context of a life style that leads to an individual withdrawal from the world and a use of heroin that allows them to adapt to the demands of an achievement oriented society.
