The current study describes the personal support networks of Italian drug users after long-term residential therapeutic treatment, and analyzes correlates of post-treatment substance abuse (relapse). Employing a social network analysis approach, ego-centered networks were analysed in a sample of 80 treated addicts, and which characteristics of their support networks are related to relapse were investigated. It was also explored the role of social capital in terms of network closure and opportunities to reach more and diverse benefits protecting against relapse that are due to the structure of the network. The results show that a lower risk of relapse is positively associated with having network members with higher socioeconomic status, greater occupational heterogeneity, and reciprocate support. Social capital derived from network structure (“brokerage”) contributes to maintaining abstinence through enhanced access to information in less homogeneous personal networks and exposure of treated drug users to greater diversity in the types of support received.
