本研究針對一位戒癮成功者犯罪入獄前後的生命處境與轉化過程行探討。採立意取向，選取一位海洛英戒毒成功近20餘年的成功企業家為研究參與者。以深度訪談方式為主，輔以報章雜誌、網路等方式蒐集研究參與者的資料後，依據Lieblich等人「整體-內容」的敘事研究法進行文本分析。 研究結果發現本研究參與者：一、 吸毒成因在於早期形成的錯誤價值觀，遇見監獄布教師才有因果觀念；二、 獄中接觸佛教信仰，身體力行成為生命轉化的關鍵力量；三、 社會復歸除個人毅力外，也歸功親情召喚、家人支持，社會團體的協助；四、 親友死亡事件與瀕死經驗，衝擊生命視框，決意從實踐菩薩道中消除前愆。 本研究若干資料因倫理保密考量，未予揭露，是可能的研究限制。建議未來可增加個案數，更深入研究佛教信仰對戒癮的影響。 This study was aimed at the life situation and transformation of a successfully-rehabilitated entrepreneur before and after his being incarcerated. It adopted purposive sampling recruiting a 20-year heroin user who had successfully-rehabilitated as the research participant. While data collection was mainly through depth-interviews, reports about the participant in newspapers, magazines and internet news were also collected as auxiliary sources. The data were analyzed in the light of Leiblich’s “holistic-content” narrative method. The findings are as follows.1. The drug use was attributed to the wrong value formed in the early years, and he had never had the right view of cause-effect until he met the prison advisor.2. He encountered the Buddhist belief and internalized it as the critical force of his life transformation.3. Social rehabilitation involved not only personal persistence but also the support of family feeling and social group.4. The death incident of a family member and personal near-death experience exerted impact onto his perspective of life, making him devoted to the Bodhisattva way for repentance. One of the limitations of this study had to do with the ethical concern that part of the interview content had to keep secret due to personal privacy. It was suggested that future studies could interview more participants for a deeper understanding of the connection between the Buddhist belief and drug-detoxing behavior.
