Description
Lydia Shrimpton and co-authors report in 2025 on women and mothers inside a drug and alcohol recovery group in north-east England. Women who use drugs carry heavy shame in public eyes. Mothers face still more watch and live in fear that their children will be taken.
That fear can scare women off help they need. The team mapped the strengths of local recovery groups with the women and asked how women-only spaces feel from inside. Talks dug into shame at the door and shame among peers. Services gain a woman-eye view of what makes a space safe enough to enter and stay.
