Recovery capital in desistance and recovery: personal, social and community capital among offenders who misuse drugs Ghent University
Desistance from crime and recovery from drug misuse share similar characteristics. Researchers, in
both fields of desistance and recovery, acknowledge the importance of societal responses, besides
personal and social factors, in initiating and sustaining desistance and recovery. However, the
mechanisms contributing to this are not yet clearly understood.
Starting from the recovery field, one angle ...

Adducted addicts? Towards long-term monitoring of drug use via protein adducts in blood. Ghent University
Drug abuse is a worldwide well-known problem. Although current analysis of drug biomarkers in blood and urine is well established in forensic toxicology, compounds are only detectable for a small time period. At present, the analysis of a keratinized matrix (hair) is the only option to detect biomarkers over a longer time period. However, hair analysis faces crucial technical and interpretative obstacles, complicating unambiguous ...
