Abstract:
Spirituality is generally protective against the initiation of alcohol and drug use and progression to disordered use. In addition, mutual-help organizations, such as Alcoholics Anonymous, were founded on spiritual principles, and reliance on a "higher power" is a central component of the 12 steps. Despite this, spirituality is not commonly addressed in formal treatment of addictions. The purpose of this paper is to provide a summary of the role of spirituality in the development and recovery from addictive disorders for health care professionals.
