Résumé :
Conrad and Mackie highlight the extent to which the medicalization of drug use and drug addiction has never been a accompli, but instead has always been contested by competing parties and consequently always in flux . They document the moribund status of the medicalization of opiate addiction in the US for most of the twentieth century (1920 through 1990s), and note a moderate resurgence of a medicalized understanding and approach to it in the present day, with the arrival of new opiates (OxyContin) and new treatments (buprenorphine). This renewed medicalization, though, is still tempered by considerable government control and ongoing punitive/criminalized responses. [From the book's introduction]
