The Role of Spirituality in Treatment
and Recovery
This study will provide a much-needed, scientifically rigorous approach to provocative questions regarding the role of spirituality in substance dependence treatment and recovery. Study goals are to (1) explore multidimensional aspects of spirituality in substance dependent individuals in treatment, (2) examine relationships between aspects of spirituality and mental health functioning; and (3) examine changes in multidimensional aspects of spirituality in relationship to the experience, completion, and outcomes of treatment at 1, 6, and 12 months post-treatment.
