Abstract

The aim of the current paper is to outline a conceptual framework as a theoretical tool to explore the life-world of drug-dependent persons in recovery. The author, as a participant observer has been studying the life and work of a Hungarian rehabilitation centre (Mérföldkő, Kovácsszénája) for several months, and shares her initial experiences and conceptualizations with the readers.
