Abstract:
:In this article the authors explore the experience of craving of methamphetamine users and seek to illuminate how differences in craving contribute to use patterns. Using in-depth interviewing, data were collected from 82 active methamphetamine users in the metropolitan Atlanta area. The constant comparison method common in grounded theory guided the data analysis. Narrative responses corresponded with three types of craving described in the literature: cue-, drug- and withdrawal-induced. However, the narratives also problematize this typological view as well as the characterization of craving as invariably leading to drug use. Types of craving cues were sometimes inseparable, and users indicated that the different types of craving could occur in the same situation. Further, many users described being able to overcome craving through personalized methods of control. This study complements the largely quantitative work on craving and highlights the importance of improving drug abuse treatment and harm reduction programs.
