dc.description.abstractThis study is a primary research project undertaken alongside Coolmine Therapeutic Community. This project is a (CARL) Community Academic Research Links project at University College Cork. This project aimed to obtain the opinions of Coolmine professionals regarding how to help women “do well” and succeed in recovering from substance addiction. The focus of this research is to understand what resources in recovery enable women to “do well”, and opposing this what barriers prevent them from achieving this. Data for this study was collected using semi-structured, one-to-one interviews with the Coolmine staff. Seven Coolmine key workers were interviewed. Following this, the data obtained was examined using a thematic analysis. Predominant themes explored within this research were Motherhood and childcare, Abstinent and Non- Abstinent recovery, Emotional Regulation in Addiction recovery and finding purpose in recovery. Key findings were: the need for women in recovery to have access to childcare provisions, the importance of supporting women with their recovery and the comorbidity of issues they may be experiencing and the importance of community and purpose in “doing well” in recovery. Understanding how to support women through or within substance addiction is necessary.en
