“…In the remaining studies in this group, there was partial support for R/S and treatment outcomes (Chu & Sung, 2009;Heinz et al, 2007;Richard et al, 2000;Stewart, 2008). With the exception of Chu and Sung, all had a prospective design.…”

“…Among the studies suggesting partial support, two included treatment outcomes targeting the severity of drug use rather than total abstinence (Richard et al, 2000;Stewart, 2008). Richard et al used two items to measure religiosity including frequency of church attendance and the question, ''How often do you feel religion is really important in your life?''…”

“…Richard et al used two items to measure religiosity including frequency of church attendance and the question, ''How often do you feel religion is really important in your life?'' Stewart (2008) used subscales from the short form of the Multidimensional Measurement of Religiousness/Spirituality and separately analyzed two questions from this scale. However, results varied depending on the individual's primary substance problem.…”

Spirituality and religion are frequently acknowledged as significant contributors to individuals' recovery from substance use disorders. This review focuses on the role that spirituality or religion plays in substance abuse treatment outcomes. Our search of three databases-PubMed, CINAHL, and Psych Info-turned up 29 eligible studies for review. We group our findings according to whether the study's focus was on alcohol only or alcohol and other drug use. The most common treatment outcome was abstinence followed by treatment retention, alcohol or drug use severity, and discharge status. For most studies, we found evidence suggesting at least some support for a beneficial relationship between spirituality or religion and recovery from substance use disorders. Our review addresses the strengths and limitations of these studies.

“…Similarly, a strong personal sense of spirituality has been found to be predictive of sobriety among recovering alcoholics (Polcin & Zemore, 2004 ; Zemore & Kaskutas, 2004 ). This growing body of evidence has led some researchers to suggest that “it is becoming increasingly difficult to exclude spirituality as a possible factor in the addiction recovery process for many individuals” (Stewart, 2008 , p. 402). The International Society of Addiction Medicine suggests spirituality is part of one’s “recovery capital” and recommend assessment of spirituality (Galanter et al, 2021 ).…”

Spirituality: A Key Component of the Salvation Army’s Bridge Programme Model of Treatment in Aotearoa New Zealand

et al. 2022

Spirituality is vital to The Salvation Army’s Bridge model of treatment for alcohol and drug addiction. Spirituality is expressed through Recovery Church, prayer, spirituality lifters, the 12-step programme, and focuses on meaning and purpose. We recruited participants from several regional centers throughout Aotearoa New Zealand and evaluated spirituality using the WHOQol-SRPB and open-ended questions. Most participants held broad understandings of spirituality, only a minority equating it with religion. Participants who completed the Programme had statistically significant increases in spiritual wellbeing at end-of-treatment. These increases were maintained at a 3-month follow-up. Increases in spiritual wellbeing were associated with decreases in severity of alcohol and drug use.

The growing number of studies indicates increasing interest in the WHODAS 2.0 for assessing individual functioning and disability in different settings and individual health conditions. The WHODAS 2.0 shows strong correlations with several other measures of activity limitations; probably due to the fact that it shares the same disability latent variable with them. Implications for Rehabilitation WHODAS 2.0 seems to be a valid, reliable self-report instrument for the assessment of disability. The increasing interest in use of the WHODAS 2.0 extends to rehabilitation and life sciences rather than being limited to psychiatry. WHODAS 2.0 is suitable for assessing health status and disability in a variety of settings and populations. A critical issue for rehabilitation is that a single "minimal clinically important .difference" score for the WHODAS 2.0 has not yet been established.
