Research shows that while music has potential therapeutic benefits for people coping with substance use disorder (SUD), it also has potential to hinder recovery by inducing substance cravings. This issue is especially important regarding formerly incarcerated individuals (FIIs), for whom the rate of drug-related death due to SUD is particularly high. This qualitative study explored the meaning of a music-based intervention for FIIs and examined its potential benefits and harm. Intervention included a short-term group music intervention for 15 FIIs coping with SUD by employing the musical presentation technique. Interpretative phenomenological analysis of interviews after the intervention yielded three themes: relates to the ability of music to provide strength and hope and the ability of imagination to alleviate loneliness; relates to group support and feelings of being understood; relates to personal music that triggers memories of past substance use and stimulates cravings. This awareness enabled participants to avoid listening to such music. Findings are discussed in light of the recovery capital perspective, with human capital, social capital and cultural capital emerging from the findings. Implications for recovery programs are presented.

对药物滥用障碍患者有益和有害的音乐：音乐演示技术的实施

研究表明，虽然音乐对于应对物质使用障碍 (SUD) 的人具有潜在的治疗益处，但它也有可能通过诱发物质渴望来阻碍康复。这个问题对于曾经被监禁的个人 (FII) 来说尤其重要，因为 SUD 导致的毒品相关死亡率特别高。这项定性研究探讨了基于音乐的干预对 FII 的意义，并检验了其潜在的好处和危害。干预措施包括对 15 名应对 SUD 的 FII 采用音乐呈现技术进行短期团体音乐干预。干预后对采访的解释性现象学分析产生了三个主题：与音乐提供力量和希望的能力以及缓解孤独的想象力的能力有关；与团体支持和被理解的感觉有关；与个人音乐有关，它会触发对过去物质使用的记忆并刺激渴望。这种意识使参与者能够避免听此类音乐。从恢复资本的角度对研究结果进行了讨论，其中包括人力资本、社会资本和文化资本。提出了对恢复计划的影响。
