This article explores classed presentations of addiction resumption. I discuss the concept and theory of ‘natural recovery’ and introduce ‘lay-sobriety’ and the potential they have to inform treatment and future research. Can research from the 1990’s help answer contemporary questions relating to a larger group of addicts that are currently gaining from treatment?
