This article examines how two contending paradigms clash in terms of their view and response to the dynamics of drugs, drug use and the drug problem. The dominant vulnerability paradigm considers drug users a addicts and deviants. On the other hand, the resiliency paradigm sees drugs as a controlled object, drug use as socially-induced and meaning-driven, and users as either healing-seekers or risk-takers and deals with the drug problem using harm-reductionist related approaches. With epidemiological and ethnographic methods, a barangay (village) as setting and shabu use as a unit of study, data on how these two paradigms as played out in the community were analyzed. The barangay data deconstructed the totalizing view of drug users as addicts and deviants, affirmed the extreme difficulty of using a "war on drugs" approach in solving the drug problem, and demonstrated the value of a development-oriented and transformative approach couched within a resiliency framework in solving the drug problem Subject Added Entry - Topical Term SUBSTANCE-RELATED DISORDERS   RESIDENCE CHARACTERISTICS   SUBSTANCE-RELATED DISORDERS   RESIDENCE CHARACTERISTICS           Physical Location           Digital Copy Not Available          Add to Book Cart  |   Download MARC
